"This memoir is a must read for anyone who wants a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the experiences of mothers and stepmothers. As a classroom teacher, educator, and researcher  I was drawn into the emotions and vulnerability that Jasjit Sangha expresses so vividly in her stories. This book is a powerful meditation on the vicissitudes of human relationships and of hope in the midst of struggle" 
-GRACE FEUVERGER, Professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto  and author or Teaching, Learning and Other Miracles

"Jasjit Sangha's memoir on stepmothering is a compelling account of her struggles along the way. With her deepening spiritual awareness she communicates in a new way the important old adage we all need to remember as we raise our children: 'When you love someone, you need to let them go'. "
-JANET GROEN, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Calgary and co-editor of Spirituality in Social Work and Education: Theory, Practice and Pedagogies.

"South Asian Mothering brings fresh new voices and perspectives to the topic of mothering. It reaches beyond the usual discourse to provide insights that speak not only to the South Asian mothers and women but our global community, embracing and challenging us all."
-SUZANNE MUIR, Equity and Inclusive Education Coordinator, Halton District School Board and author of Over the Moon stories, children's multicultural animated e-book apps

This book is a counterpoint to the dominant media images of South Asian women, offering insights into the complexity of their lives in a way that yields important understandings of women's acts of agency in different times and places. It makes visible the multiple contexts of their lives in a ways that can help to spark needed dialogue within and across ages and diverse groups and communities. This is an innovative addition to the field of mothering, as well as to literature on South Asian, migration, and broader fields of women's studies, cultural studies, health and social sciences
