Mothers of Green Gables by Tricia De Souza published on 2021-02-16T02:40:53Z Family is a complicated topic. Be it big or small, tight-knit or distant, the memories shared with your family are ones that will follow you throughout your life journey-- be it good or bad. In this podcast 'Mothers of Green Gables,' I delve into my relationship with my family through the lens of my favorite childhood book series, Anne of Green Gables. Fiery, Passionate and a little too stubborn, Anne Shirley was my hero growing up. Ever since first picking up the book when I was young, her story has stuck with me... but it's not just because I share my clumsy spirit with the protagonist. Like Anne, I was adopted. Although I am always grateful for the opportunities I have been given, being adopted has also left me with this feeling of being in search of something--a place/a feeling/someone-- to call home. Although I have wrestled with the separation of my experience, as I have gotten older, I have come to realize that what family, what home, what 'mothering' means, can not be so easily confined by geography or time.
