With dazzling brilliance and empathy, Colm Tóibín's collection of stories wrestles with complicated themes of emotional restraint, the long reach of sexual repression, and the difficulty of escaping one's past. Each of the nine stories in this beautifully written, intensely intimate collection centers on a transformative moment that alters the delicate balance of power between mother and son, or changes the way they perceive one another. With exquisite grace and eloquence, Tóibín writes of men and women bound by convention, by unspoken emotions, by the stronghold of the past. Many are trapped in lives they would not choose again, if they ever chose at all. A man buries his mother and converts his grief to desire in one night. A famous singer captivates an audience, yet cannot beguile her own estranged son. And in "A Long Winter," Colm Tóibín's finest piece to date, a young man searches for his mother in the snow-covered mountains where she has sought escape from the husband who controls and confines her. Winner of numerous awards for his fifth novel, The Master—including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award—Tóibín brings to this stunning first collection an acute understanding of human frailty and longing. These are haunting, profoundly moving stories by a writer who is himself a master.

An insatiable need for sex and love. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable and painful relationships. Does this sound painfully familiar? Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors-and are unable to stop. Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact. In doing so, she destigmatizes the shame that comes with being under-mothered and misdiagnosed. McDaniel offers a healing path with powerful tools that include therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes in service to healthy relationships. The constant search for mother love can be a lifelong emotional burden, but healing begins with knowing and naming what we are missing. McDaniel is the first clinician to identify Mother Hunger, which demystifies the search for love and provides the compass that each woman needs to end the struggle with achy, lonely emptiness, and come home to herself.

IT'S A BOY! To hear these words is the dream of every mother. From her son, a woman learns what it feels like to grow up in a male body. As his trusted adviser, teacher, and friend, she helps to shape his view of himself, of others, and of the world. She instills values and ideals that will stay with him throughout his life, and she has so many hopes and dreams for the man he will become. Because of her son, a mother's life will be more meaningful, her joys will be greater, and her heart will experience the greatest love imaginable. BOYS WILL BE BOYS! There are moments in a son's life when he tests his mother's resolve, as well as her patience, but the bond between them is unbreakable. She is his mirror for how he looks at the world and for how the world looks at him. As a child, he will turn to her for guidance, understanding, and support; as he grows older, he will do everything he can to protect and care for her. Though he may have difficulty putting his feelings into words, there is never any doubt of a son's respect, devotion, and incredible love for his mother. LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON. For all their obvious differences, there could never be two people more alike. Their time together is filled with unforgettable memories and immeasurable rewards. The tenderness and pride they feel toward each other can only be surpassed by the happiness they share. Theirs is a close and enduring relationship that only a mother and son can ever know... and a very special feeling of love that lives forever in their hearts.
