The Other Mother: a Rememoir

The entire uncorrected review copy of "The Other Mother" will be serialized and released free through Wattpad.

The family we are born to is not always the family we need. Sometimes it takes a complete stranger to show us who we are meant to be. For Teresa Bruce, that stranger was Byrne Miller.

As a young TV reporter, Teresa interviewed the 82-year-old modern dance pioneer as she was fighting to prolong the life of her husband of 60 years. Byrne took one look at Teresa’s turned-out dancer’s hip and adopted her into her family of “collected children.”

As Byrne struggled to save her husband, Teresa became immersed in their bohemian fairytale, a story that began in the Great Depression and danced its way across the vaudeville stage down Madison Avenue to a tree house in Connecticut, an island in the Bahamas and, finally, to sleepy Beaufort, South Carolina.

The love Teresa witnessed between Byrne and Duncan was worlds apart from her broken romance with an angry surfer from Mexico or her parents’ troubled marriage. Byrne became Teresa’s wise, supportive other mother. “When what is painful can’t be fixed,” Byrne said, “close the door behind you and walk into another room.” When Teresa walked into another room she discovered what it means to create her own happily ever after.

The Other Mother is the compelling, true story of one woman who found the family she needed. It is a must read for anyone who has ever needed, or cherished, the love of an other mother.
