Secrets, lies, ambition and resentment. NL author writes a book about uncovering her mother’s life

When we're kids, our moms are our superheroes - our protectors, nurturers and confidantes. But as we get older, we understand our moms more as real people with flaws and issues - and sometimes secrets. After Marjorie Doyle's mother died in 2006, the author decided to research her life and write about it. The book is called Mary Foley Mary Doyle - Unravelling a Mother's Secrets, and it's published by Boulder Books.
