Jeannie DuBose’s Mother Daughter Dance is the smartest, truest, and most moving investigation I’ve ever experienced into the mystery of this most complex relationship. Here’s a book to read again and again — a book to treasure. The bright and lovely illustrations speak volumes, so this little book expands to the size of a novel in our minds. It’s illuminating, wise — and beautiful. A feast for the eyes and heart alike.

Whether you have danced the Mother Daughter Dance yourself or have only watched those you love flinging each other around on the dance floor, take heart. This graceful book’s good news is that time passes and partners change places, giving each the chance to recognize herself in the other before the next generation arrives and the dance moves on.

The Mother Daughter Dance is every woman’s story, drawn from the rich memories of an oldest daughter, artfully told with an economy of words and soulful, primitive illustrations. Jeannie DuBose has captured this circle dance with a voice that echos deep in the bones.
