Dolly Baker
Acerca de esta escucha
When Dolly Baker was three years old, she found herself on a plane to Kentucky with her two sisters and a social worker. Even though their mother was still alive, the siblings had been adopted by a grandmother. Baker missed her mother’s presence deeply, and for years, she struggled with understanding her life’s true purpose.
In The Other Side of the Sun, Baker shares her story, the story of a young black girl trying to grow, heal, and learn to love herself. She chronicles the many obstacles she faced throughout her life, including feelings of abandonment and loss, a string of failed relationships, and addiction to alcohol.
In this memoir, Baker tells how the pain she endured was intended to help her grow and learn to make wiser decisions from her bad examples.

After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now. For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined.

Aida Rodriguez has, to put it mildly, lived a whirlwind life. Her rags-to-riches story is mind-blowing: She was kidnapped as a child by her mother in the Dominican Republic and brought to the US. She was later kidnapped again by her grandmother and uncle and moved from New York to Florida. As an adult, she ended a difficult marriage and endured homelessness with her children in Los Angeles. But through it all she never lost her sense of humor.

There are just a few problems: he’s in prison, and she doesn’t know what he did to end up there.

As an undergraduate, Michele Filgate started writing an essay about being abused by her stepfather. It took her more than a decade to realize that she was actually trying to write about how this affected her relationship with her mother. When it was finally published, the essay went viral, shared on social media by Anne Lamott, Rebecca Solnit, and many others. This gave Filgate an idea, and the resulting anthology offers a candid look at our relationships with our mothers.

Ward of the State: A Memoir of Foster Care tells what happened to a little Black boy from the inner city of Detroit. This is the story of Karlos Dillard, who was severely neglected by his mother, who often left him and his siblings at home alone for weeks to fend for themselves. Enduring severe neglect and abuse, the boy was removed by the State of Michigan and put into foster care. Karlos was removed from his mother's care just to end up in foster homes that treated him worse. Karlos was told he was not loved, he was not wanted, and he was nothing but a ward of the state.
