Reluctant Daughter
Lesléa Newman
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?

‘The Reluctant Daughter is a moving look at a woman forced to come to grips with her remote mother’s illness and vulnerability. With this novel, Lesléa Newman continues to tell the stories of lesbian lives with her trademark humor, discernment, and warm empathy.’
