Places to Look for a Mother — Nicole Stansbury

She's Miriam Taylor, Lucy and Jen Taylor's mother, and until divorce, Bob Taylor's wife. To know her is to love her, to love her is to hate her. She is beautiful, excitable, and wildly unstable. "There is no other way than her. Does that sound extravagant? Or should I say there is no other place than her," observes Lucy, the endearing narrator of this very special debut novel. PLACES TO LOOK FO' MOTHER is Lucy's heartrending story of mostly maddening mother-daughter bonds and the love and loathing that keep them alive.
