Hello Jerimiah,
Welcome to Islamicity. Wishing you a very happy stay.
Am glad to know that you wish to take Islam as your way of life. Am sure you must be satisfied with Islam as a true religion. You know Jerimiah, during the days of Prophet Muhammad { sallal lahu alayhi wasallam}, when the message of Islam reached people, not all members of a family embraced it. When a husband accepted Islam, wife did not, or while a son embraced Islam, mother did not. Likewise sister accepted Islam, brother did not. Moreover these new convers were severly tortured by their parents / masters or other leaders of the society.
It's not necessary that you let know your mother about the conversion soon.Wait for few months / year. You can practice slowly and secretly. By then, try your best to reach out your mother about Islam. Bring few books / or make talks or discussions at appropriate time. You need to work with wisdom. Make lots of prayers to Allah swt, to make this task of yours easy, for it's Allah who guides us.
If your mother doubts you or knows about your conversion, don't panic. Islam teaches us to be good to our parents even when they are non-muslims. So try to be the same daughter, infact more closer to her than before. The fear which she may hold that this new religion changed her daughter, shall go away. It's obvious that she may not accept you, but gradually, insha Allah, she shall soon be influenced.
May Allah swt help you and make it easy for you. Ameen
