How have 20th century women really lived? My Mother's Story asks people to write the story of their mothers' lives from beginning to end, without embellishment, telling \"just the facts ma'am.\" The 41 stories collected here were submitted for inclusion in a professional theatre production in Vancouver, Canada. Against the backdrop of headline news, they tell stories of wealth, poverty, abuse, adoption, arranged marriages, heartache and joy in countries all over the world, their common thread being a daughter who now lives in North Vancouver. Second in a series on the extraordinary lives of ordinary women. www. mymothersstory. org. | My Mother's Story by Marilyn Norry, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
