Book 101 Review

How do you reach someone you love when abuse has placed them beyond your reach?

On Book 101 Review, host Daniel Lucas welcomes Lisa Citore, author of Dark Night of the Mother, for a deeply personal conversation about motherhood, coercive control, and the long journey toward healing.

Citore discusses her account of trying to help her daughter escape an abusive relationship—and the emotional demands of becoming both a mother and an advocate across the miles. The conversation explores isolation, the limits of a parent’s influence, and why leaving an abusive relationship may be only the beginning of recovery.

Drawing on the book’s interwoven narrative and symbolic bedtime story, Lisa shares her perspectives on inner activism, feminine identity, self-worth, and healing across generations. She also reflects on her personal spiritual experiences and the role of creative expression through Anima, Theater of the Feminine Underground.

Join a thoughtful discussion about a mother’s determination, a daughter’s autonomy, and finding strength amid uncertainty.
