The Seasons of My Mother: A Memoir of Love, Family, and Flowers

The Seasons of My Mother: A Memoir of Love, Family, and Flowers by Marcia Gay Harden is a lyrical and deeply moving memoir about motherhood, memory, and the beauty that endures through change. One of America’s most celebrated actresses, Harden reflects on her close bond with her mother, Beverly, weaving together stories of family life, travel, and creativity with the painful reality of Alzheimer’s disease.

Drawing inspiration from ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging that her mother embraced while living abroad, Harden structures the memoir around the seasons of her mother’s life and her own journey from an imaginative child in a military family to an Academy Award–winning actress. Written with warmth, wit, and emotional honesty, this memoir captures love, loss, and resilience, offering a tender tribute to a mother whose story deserves to be remembered.
