"Call it fiction, but this collection is achingly true to life when it comes to the many ways mothers and daughters grow together and apart, over and over again." e" O, the Oprah Magazine "The characters are irresistible . . . Serber writes with exquisite patience and sensitivity, and is an expert in the many ways that love throws people together and splits them apart, often at the same time." e" Wall Street Journal "Mothers and daughters go at it in the way only mothers and daughters can, with full hearts and claws out, in Natalie Serbere(tm)s funny, bittersweet collection. . . .Ite(tm)s the perfect firecracker of a book to ''accidentally'' stick in the beach bag of the freewheeling mother who refuses to give up her independence and grow up, or to leave on the chaise lounge of the type-A daughter whoe(tm)s forced to grow up and never gets to be a girl." e" Vanity Fair "From its first page, Serber''s debut collection plunges us into the humid heat and lightning of a perfect storm:that of American mothers and daughers struggling for power, love, meaning, and identity. . . .Serber''s writing sparkles: practical, strong, brazenly modern, marbled with superb descriptions." e" San Francisco Chronicle "Mothers and daughters burst from these pagesin stories about food,boyfriends, birthdays, husbands and more." -- Houston Chronicle "There is an element of the miraculous in a collection of stories whose characters reveal the fundamental predicament of all parents and children. . . .[Serber is] clearly writing not from some high plane of solitude but from within the mess of life." e" Huffington Post "Serbere(tm)s stellar first collection packs an emotional wallop right from the start...sharp, somber, and sparkling commentary...

It is filled with poignant, thought-provoking observations on the delicate yet unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters. Serber has given readers a remarkable, heart-felt book to be savored, shared and passed on from one generation to another." e"Anderson McKean, Page & Palette, Fairhope, AL "As its title implies, Natalie Serbere(tm)s collection Shout Her Lovely Name is a triumphant battle cry of hard-won victory over the stalemate and injuries between mothers and daughters.

Synopsis
A New York Times 100 "Notable Books" of 2012 "Call it fiction, but this collection is achingly true to life when it comes to the many ways mothers and daughters grow together and apart, over and over again." -- O, the Oprah Magazine Mothers and daughters ride the familial tide of joy, regret, loathing, and love in these stories of resilient and flawed women. In a battle between a teenage daughter and her mother, wheat bread and plain yogurt become weapons. An aimless college student, married to her much older professor, sneaks cigarettes while caring for their newborn son. On the eve of her husband's fiftieth birthday, a pilfered fifth of rum, an unexpected tattoo, and rogue teenagers leave a woman questioning herplace. And in a suite of stories, we follow capricious, ambitious single mother Ruby and her cautious, steadfast daughter Nora through their tumultuous life--stray men, stray cats, and psychedelic drugs--in 1970s California. Gimlet-eyed and emotionally generous, achingly real and beautifully written, these unforgettable stories lay bare the connection and conflict in families. Shout Her Lovely Name heralds the arrival of a powerful new writer. www.natalieserber.com, A New York Times 100 "Notable Books" of 2012 "Call it fiction, but this collection is achingly true to life when it comes to the many ways mothers and daughters grow together and apart, over and over again." -- O, the Oprah Magazine Mothers and daughters ride the familial tide of joy, regret, loathing, and love in these stories of resilient and flawed women.
