In Motherland Caledonia Kearns celebrates the diversity and experience of Irish American women and explores the bonds that tie them to their mothers and their homeland. Ireland is the motherland of the Irish diaspora, and a sense of Irish heritage is often passed down from mother to daughter. Written from both perspectives, these twenty-four pieces - many of which have never been published in book form - are a testament to the complexities and blessings of the mother-daughter relationship.
