Abstract

Three mothers dominate filmmaker Gaylene Preston’s new autobiography. One is Tui her mother, the person in the family who coped (“she is very strong in me. I have to fight her off constantly but she travels with me always.”); another is her mother’s mother Elsie (“she had a very personal relationship with Jesus.”); then there is Gaylene herself as mother to Chelsie (“my best ambassador.”), and towards the end the mother to her own mother suffering with dementia.
