Book description
When Delia Bradshaw's mother died, she knew their relationship had not come to an end. She knew she had to write something about this most fundamental of all relationships.
Becoming Fine is Delia's account of a mother-daughter relationship, told from the adult daughter's perspective. It explains how, for the first time in her life, in mid-life, she summoned the courage to re-form a relationship that for her had been half-hearted for too long.
Told largely through extracts from her journals, Delia's story includes the agonising moments, the hard-won insights and the painful decisions.
This tale of many seasons is a journey from alienation to reconciliation, from rumblings through turbulence to calm.

About the author
Delia Bradshaw loves Melbourne, the city where she has spent most of her life. Her commitment to adult education there has resulted in many professional publications. Becoming Fine is her first personal work to be published.
