Lila Pereira is two years old when her angry, abusive father has her mother committed to an asylum. Lila never sees her mother again.

Lila unapologetically prioritizes her career, leaving the rearing of her daughters to her generous husband, Joe. He doesn't mind--until he does. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Grace, their youngest daughter, feels abandoned. She wishes her mother would attend PTA meetings, not White House correspondents' dinners. As she grows up, she cannot shake her resentment.

In the process of writing it, she realizes how little she knows about her own family. Did Lila's mother, Grace's grandmother, die in that asylum? Is refusal to look back the only way to create a future? How can you ever be yourself, Grace wonders, if you don't know where you came from? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpanning generations, and populated by complex, unforgettable characters, \u003ci\u003eLike Mother, Like Mother \u003c\/i\u003eis an exhilarating, portrait of family, marriage, ambition, power, the stories we inherit, and the lies we tell to become the people we believe we're meant to be.","brand":"Susan Rieger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46723538354412,"sku":"9780525512516","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780525512516.jpg?v=1757006554","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/like-mother-like-mother-1","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
