Dr. Wendy Osefo’s powerful memoir explores the complex bond between mother and daughter, shaped by love, sacrifice, and cultural expectations. Raised by her Nigerian immigrant mother, whose journey from fast-food worker to hospital director inspired her drive, Wendy achieved everything asked of her: four degrees, a thriving career, and a beautiful family.

But behind the accolades lies a deeper story: the struggle to honor her heritage while finding her own voice as a woman and mother. Tears of My Mother is a heartfelt reflection on identity, generational expectations, and the courage to define your own path.
