“When Ellen Bass and Laura Davis published The Courage to Heal, it emboldened a generation of survivors of sexual abuse and incest, likely contributing to the courageous voices for many who are part of today's MeToo and Time’sUp movements. In The Burning Light of Two Stars, Davis allows us to know the person behind those pages and the story behind that story. Nuanced, raw, and candid, this memoir does not designate white hat/black hat characters. Instead, it provides a topographical map through the complex landscape of the mother-daughter relationship at the heart of the story, with characters both noble and deeply flawed on both sides of the equation. This masterful heart-filling book is deeply moving and wise. I'm so grateful to have read it.”
