New in the UK, a rediscovered modern classic for today's generation
in an updated, beautifully illustrated edition. All but unavailable
since 2009, this delightful, important modern classic is back by
public demand - revitalised in an updated, beautifully illustrated
new edition for young readers. Celebrated author Leslea Newman and
bestselling illustrator Laura Cornell tell the story of a little
girl called Heather. Heather's favourite number is two - she has
two arms, two legs, two pets and two lovely mummies. But when
Heather goes to school for the first time, someone asks her about
her daddy ... and Heather doesn't have a daddy! But then the class
all draw portraits of their families, and not one single drawing is
the same. Heather and her classmates realize - it doesn't matter
who makes up a family, the most important thing is that all the
people in it love one another very much.
A story every daughter will recognize, The Reluctant Daughter
depicts the struggles of Lydia Pinkowitz to communicate the
realities of her life as a lesbian, as a feminist scholar, and as
the woman she has become to her mother Doris. After years of hoping
to attain her mother's love and acceptance while struggling to live
a true and honest life, Lydia eventually acknowledges her mother
will never really see her. When Doris develops a life-threatening
illness, Lydia is forced to make a life-and-death decision of her
own: should she make one final attempt to heal her relationship
with her mother or simply let her go?
