Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book preserves a glimpse into the universal roles of a mother in a daughter's life. It is a poignant collection of tales told by well-known women of Texas as they share the life moments and memories of their mother's influence on their own lives. From stories and tales that span generations, Susie weaves a tapestry of legacies in the form of insightful interviews about the mothers, delectable family recipes, and profiles of the daughters. Family photographs submitted by each woman add another fascinating glimpse into their lives. Liz Carpenter, Lady Bird Johnson, and dozens of other great Texas women fill the pages of this memorable book.

About the Author
Susie Kelly Flatau is an author whose fascination with people and places lives within the spirit of her writing. In Counter Culture Texas (in collaboration with photographer Mark Dean) Ms. Flatau’s vignettes—taken from on-the-spot interviews—capture the histories of old-time diners, dance halls, drugstores, and more.

For over twenty-five years this award-winning educator has taught writing and literature to students of all ages in both public schools and the private sector. Susie lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Jack, and daughter, Jenni.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Daughter--Darn it!, December 7, 2003
By Lloyd R. Mardis (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Looking through this book, I realized that I might have achieved more in this life if I had been a daughter. The supporting relationships between daughters and mothers, so well detailed in this book by Susie Kelly Flatau, would make any guy a bit envious. Don't get me wrong--fathers are O.K. And, being a son to a mother is fine too, but reading this book it brought home to me that I could neither fully appreciate nor appropriate that special relationship enjoyed by a daughter and her mother.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mothers of Distinction, January 9, 2003
By Patricia H. Martinez (Austin, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
Browsing through the index one is aware that most of these names are not that familiar (some are very, as in the case of Luci and Lady Bird Johnson) to the average reader. What is familiar, however, are the testaments given to some very average, yet phenominal mothers who have had a significant impact on the shaping of their daughters ideas, dreams and accomplishments. Anyone reading this book becomes immediately aware that the so called women's "revolution" was taking place long before bras were burned and names were hyphenated and most of the real battles were being fought from the kitchen as often as from an office or boardroom. These are no ordinary women and the daughters they raised atest to that fact. As De Lamartine asserted "there is a woman at the beginning of all great things" and nowhere is this more evident than between these pages.
Although recipes are included from each mother/daughter team, this is so NOT a cookbook. It is a book to be placed by the bedside or on a table in the livingroom where one can just pick out a chapter at random and remember again just how important mother really was. It is a very personal journey and one that might even require a tissue or two. My only regret is that I cannot share this with my own mother who passed away before this book was published, but I can read and remember with a grateful heart.
A perfect gift for the mom in anyone's life!

4.0 out of 5 stars storycircle.org/BookReviews, January 19, 2002
By Paula S. Yost (Yantis, TX United States) - See all my reviews
With a masterful hand of her own, Susie Kelly Flatau has captured the compelling dynamics of a positive mother-daughter relationship within this book. The enchanting tributes to their mothers by 33 prominent Texas women will entice readers to embark on their own reflective journey home to their mothers' arms.
