Produktbeschreibung
Marilyn McVicker's fifth book, I Still Sing Your Lullabies: a mother's love & loss, is a hybrid manuscript containing 61 poems and 4 prose pieces, in 116 pages.It is a story of a mother's love of her children, and the story of a mother who lost custody because of unfair legal challenges. This is the story of mothers who were legally targeted, who lost their children, their families, alimony, jobs, and health. This is a story of women denied basic legal rights to their children. This is a story of children who grew up without their mothers, children left with a father who wanted control and economic gain, and not the daily tasks associated with parenting his children. This is a story of grief, loss, and pain, as well as a story of sharing and caring, and the redemptive power of love. These poems and prose pieces present marginalized voices which offer the emotional, practical, political and economic context of women losing custody of their children.
