Mother, May I? is an evolutionary journey between a mother and a daughter from the daughter's teenage years to adulthood. The poems celebrate the bonding of mother and daughter through inspiration, humor, tragedy, and communication. Mother and daughter share generational conversations and explore topics such as sex, politics, and race, which both divide and unite them. This book should be shared with mothers and daughters alike, everywhere, to keep hope, persevere, and to get to the point in their relationship where they finally bond.
