Who would have thought that an estranged mother-daughter relationship could unearth a tragic history of women’s struggles? Justine Cowan, author of the memoir “The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames,” joins PRosé and reveals her cathartic journey in unearthing her mother’s background.
Dorothy lived in a world where servitude was considered charity over being thrown out of the streets to die – all because she was borne out of wedlock. And this upbringing had significantly shaped Dorothy and Justine’s relationship.
Justine also reveals that her next book is going to be a much lighter but equally riveting piece that explores Southern culture.
