Summary: This Book Isn't Just for Daughters
Review: I am a woman engaged to a man with an extremely dramatic, controlling mother. I found this book extremely helpful in pointing out manipulative, controlling tactics she uses with her son which makes him feel completely guilty when he has done nothing wrong. I found myself in a similar situation with her, which is why I purchased this book, which I shared with him. He read parts of it before confronting his mom in order to help give him the strength to stand up for himself. Mama Drama does a good job stressing the positive aspects of a controlling mother while outlining ways for you to gain control. I found that it does speak to both women and men, and I find it unfortunate that so many books target the mother/daughter relationship; my fiance is living proof that these relationships also exist between mother and son.

Summary: Mama Drama - an easy read
Review: I found this a very quick and easy read but not terribly helpful. While many of the suggestions were valid, many of the case studies described mother and child/daughter not adult/daughter relationships. The book assumes that if the daughter remains calm and reasonable, the mother will automatically follow. Perhaps it is not possible to narrow mother/daughter relationships down to a typical few.

Summary: not just an American culture phenomena
Review: I've read this book and found my mom written in the pages. The author also gave excellent advice on how to deal with our "mama drama" without breaking our relationship with her. However, I feel I need to say something about one of her points, namely her claim that "mama drama" is supported by the American culture, but not the Asian culture. As someone who has grown up with the Asian culture in the American society, I know this is not true. Personally, I have often found the American culture to be more respectful of a child's or a subordinate's dignity than the Chinese culture. Respecting the elders is a wonderful value, but it can also mean the elder can abuse the child and the child can't protest or fight back, because doing so is considered disrespectful.

Summary: A great resource for daughters AND their mothers
Review: This book provided a lot of helpful information for mending estranged mother-daughter relationships. It also offers suggestions for improving existing relationships. Mother-daughter relationships are very complicated and the guidelines outlined in Ms. McGregor's book assist with shaping the relationship into something that is appreciated by both the mother and the daughter.
