Zelda was only twenty-four when her cruel husband forcibly sent her to a psychiatric clinic—and from that day on she never saw her children again.
Thirty years later, her daughter Laila, having gathered together her mind, charm, talent, and attractiveness, rapidly rises to the top of the American media world and becomes an outstanding chief editor. Her career is an absolute priority, and there is almost no time left for her own family.
Laila’s daughter, Grace, already grown up, can’t shake the loneliness and bitterness caused by her mother’s coldness. She has achieved success in journalism, yet she still lives in Laila’s shadow—and intends to write a book about her. But soon Grace realizes that she knows terrifyingly little about the closest people. How can you understand who you are if no one explained where you came from and what your roots are?
Sometimes family secrets change our fate—even when they remain unspoken. “All in Her Mother” is a family saga in which a disastrous marriage, ambitions, a hunger for power, and lies—endless lies hiding an unflattering truth—are tightly interwoven.
