Love, Mom

About this book

I'm much older than my computer--are you suggesting that the older something is, the more uselss it becomes? Because that's what I'm hearing (although I'm not hearing it very well.....) Love, your old momYes, I am a pest, but I just looked at Iowa weather and it will be 5 below Tuesday night. Hope you have a hat with ears. Love you, MomSweet, funny, endearing, slightly technologically inept, and always just a little nagging, emails from mothers to their adult children are much more fun to read when it’s somebody else’s mother. PostcardsFromYoMomma.com is proof of that—when it launched, this repository of reader-submitted missives from Mom received more than 100,000 unique visitors in just the first two weeks. In Love, Mom, editors Doree Shafrir and Jessica Grose have assembled more than two hundred of the best never-before-seen submissions.From school, sex, technology, and appearance to health, work, holidays, and food—and complete with a selection of celebrity emails (including Oscar-winner Diablo Cody’s mom on her daughter’s “blob”), and sidebars throughout—Love, Mom is ultimately a reflection on how our moms are always our moms . . . no matter how the message is sent.
