Las hijas debemos arriesgarnos a perder el único amor sin el que instintivamente sentimos que no podemos vivir para ser quienes somos, y estoy convencida de que esto envía un mensaje a nuestras madres para que rompan sus propias cadenas, aunque estén ancladas en la prehistoria y sujetas al corazón de sus propias bisabuelas.
