The mother/daughter relationship is famously complicated. Add in a cancer diagnosis, and things get ridiculously complex. Wildfire Magazine’s “Mothers & Daughters” issue features essays and poetry from survivors and their families who are navigating the mother/daughter relationship and the lessons they've learned along the way.
