Overview

After more than 50 years of bitter relations with her mother, Sylvia Grossman, the author of a singular new autobiography, wanted "...a mother I can love".

As Sylvia painfully rises above her own anger, a moving transformation occurs. From the ruins of her childhood, where family relationships grew like a garden of nettles, she fearlessly educates herself and changes her attitudes.

Sylvia opens her pandora's box of painful emotions, and as she works toward solving her problems, there are remarkable glimpses of the culture of an educated Jewish family in Russia during tumultuous post-revolutionary twenties
