What My Mother Gave Me (2013) is an anthology edited by Jean Hanff Korelitz that collects essays from writers about objects passed down from their mothers. Each contributor picks a single item and uses it as a starting point to explore their relationship with their mother.
The collection features pieces by well-known authors and offers a mix of funny, sad, and surprising stories. It is Korelitz’s only anthology project, distinct from her fiction work but still rooted in her interest in how people tell stories about their own lives.
