The memoir explores the complex dynamics of a mother’s awareness in the context of childhood abuse, drawing from Cowan's own experiences growing up in a troubled Catholic family in 1950s Quebec. It chronicles her journey from victimhood to empowerment, highlighting the struggle against ingrained conditioning and societal expectations. Cowan emphasizes the necessity of a broader feminist perspective to confront and articulate the trauma of abuse, while also critiquing a culture that often blames mothers instead of addressing systemic issues.
