What is Love, Mom?
Love, Mom is a compilation of letters from an older generation to a younger one in need of guidance or inspiration. It deals with topics that touch all of our lives: finances, education, family, love, sex, friendship. In an essence, it is an attempt to capture daily life and all of its complexities, challenges, and fulfilling moments.

Why Love, Mom?
A few years back, my girlfriend Kristen O’Mahony and I discussed our high school years and how we got through them. I described my own recollection of being a noodly and uncomfortable fourteen-year old teenage girl terrified by all aspects of life, especially gym class. Ironically, it was this dreaded class that would lead me to a sense of belonging and awareness. I am referring specifically to my high school gym teacher Miss Detar. It was Miss Detar’s words of wisdom and authentic nature that made my freshman days bearable. This woman not only took the time to understand my inhibited ways, she also shared her own high school memories. Kristen spoke of women in her present life and from her high school days that added so much value to her existence. Her [Kristen’s] original vision, which I have since adopted and expanded on, was to compile a book of letters written by women from all walks of life. It is my hope, these letters will enable younger women to realize their connection to all women, while at the same time discovering their unique self.
