About this book

Summary

The Shape of Her Hands is a deeply human, literary exploration of the bond between a mother and her son, told through the quiet moments that shape a lifetime. From childhood dependence to adult independence, the story traces how love evolves through sacrifice, silence, distance, and trust. With intimate reflections, concrete everyday details, and emotional honesty, the audiobook captures motherhood not as perfection, but as persistence. It is a story about growing up, letting go, and realizing that a mother’s love does not end when a son leaves home, it becomes the voice that guides him long after.
