Can a mother be both loving and selfish? Caring and thoughtless? Deceitful and devoted? These are the questions that fuel psychologist Dr. Judy Rabinor’s quest to understand her ambivalence toward her mother. While leading a seminar exploring the importance of the mother-daughter relationship, Dr. Judy Rabinor, an eating disorder expert, is blindsided by a memory of a childhood trauma. Realizing how this buried trauma has resonated through her life, she sets off to heal herself. The Girl in the Red Boots weaves together tales from Rabinor’s psychotherapy practice and her life, helping readers understand how painful childhood experiences can linger and leave emotional scars. In the process, Rabinor traces her own journey becoming a wounded healer and ultimately making peace with her mother, and herself. Not a traditional self-help book outlining “steps” to reconcile or forgive one’s mother, The Girl in the Red Boots is a poignant memoir filled with hard-won life lessons, including the fact that it’s never too late to let go of hurts and disappointments and develop compassion for yourself—and even for your mother.

Meet "stubborn as a mule" Skye: a precocious, hilarious, delightful yet exasperating four-year-old drama queen who lives in south Louisiana. When Skye was given a shiny new pair of red rubber boots, she fell in love with them. Skye insisted on wearing the boots day and night, for practically a whole year. Although Skye's mother wearily attempted to persuade her to wear shoes other than the boots, Skye absolutely refused. Skye knew she was driving her sweet mother to her wits' end, yet her boots made her feel so securely grounded that she stubbornly continued to wear them. Then one day something really scary happens, and everything changes in an instant!
