Summary
What happens when a 'good daughter' invites her alcoholic and emotionally abusive mother to live with her? As repressed memories of childhood abuse by her mother arise, Joan Rough is filled with deep resentment and hatred toward the woman who birthed her, and her dream of mending their tattered relationship shatters. Courageous and unflinchingly honest, Scattering Ashes is a powerful chronicle of letting go of a loved one and a painful past - a journey that will bring hope to others who grapple with the pain and repercussions of abuse
