The Weight of a Mother's Love by Roberta Smith is a memoir of love, loss, and the long road to healing. Told with unflinching honesty, this book explores the journey of a mother who left a life of dysfunction and pain to protect her children-and to find herself. It's a personal account of the choices that broke a family apart, the grief that followed, and the strength it took to begin again. More than a memoir, this is an act of accountability. A tribute to her children's resilience. A recognition of the pain they carried and the love that never left. It's about what it means to face your past with open eyes... and what you discover when you finally do. Because healing doesn't always come with answers, sometimes, it comes with the courage to ask the hardest question of all: Can they ever truly forgive me?
