You're On Your Own - Anne Hotchkis - Bog

The role of a mother is unparalleled, requiring not just love, but deep self-awareness. Anne Hotchkis captures this essence in her insightful book, a collection of 32 letters penned to her sons. These letters, written over 25 years, reflect on the wisdom gained through the joys and challenges of raising her children.
Hotchkis's journey is one marked by resilience. As a divorced single parent grappling with bipolar illness, she faced societal stigmas head-on. Her letters are not just personal reflections but a testament to overcoming adversity. Today, living a spiritual life, happily remarried, and embracing the role of a grandparent, she shares her experiences with honesty and vulnerability.
This book is more than a memoir; it's a beacon of hope and guidance. It's essential reading for mothers navigating the complexities of parenthood, individuals coping with the aftermath of divorce, those dealing with mental health issues, and anyone seeking inspiration from a life richly lived.
