By Catherine E Camden-Pratt

Out of the Shadows brings together eleven women who tell their stories of growing up with mentally ill mothers. In this book - the first of its kind - the depictions of individual mother-daughter relationships are unstintingly honest. They show the messiness, pain, everyday challenges and triumphs of spirit that have been part of all of their lives. The legacies are not sanitised. Indeed, a key feature of Out of the Shadows is the presence of the women's voices, heartfelt and revealing.
