Last-minute Mother’s Day books

Rae Meadows’ latest novel “Mothers and Daughters” chronicles three generations of strong women and the choices they make. “I wanted to look at the legacy of motherhood,” says Meadows. She didn’t have to go far — she’s the mother to two little girls and she has a close relationship with her own mother. “It’s hard to imagine [my mother] having a life without me,”?she says. “But, of course, she did. I don’t know her secrets. And that’s a topic I wanted to address: How well do we know our mothers? How much do we want to know? Knowing secrets can mess with the myth we have about our mothers.”
