The Neverending Quest for Success, Inner Peace and a Really Clean Kitchen
"Readers will appreciate the honesty between the pairThe mother-daughter duo triumph
over hectic schedules and physical distance through their love of writing and travelThis is a treasure for
any generation."Publishers Weekly

Oh no, I'm turning into my mother! Every woman is familiar with the poignant, funny, baffling, or horrifying
echoes that resonate at that moment when she first hears her own mother's voice coming out of her mouth.
But this moment of recognition is more than ironic: it's at the root of how we see ourselves, and how we
plot and follow the arc that goes from childhood to motherhood.

Together, Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, cover more than seven decades of daughterhood
and motherhood. And although they grew up in dramatically different circumstances, they find that their lives
have been shaped in strangely similar ways. In Every Mother is a Daughter, Perri and Sheila tell their
mother-daughter story, looking honestly at their own lives and at each other, with different perspectives, unique
voices, and powerful insight, in the first co-written mother-daughter memoir.

Perri Klass is an award-winning author of several books and a practicing pediatrician. She is the medical director of the national program Reach Out and Read, dedicated to promoting literacy as part of pediatric primary care. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Sheila Solomon Klass is a professor of English at the City University of New York and the author of several books.
