Description:
"I wrote this book," explains Joyce Marlow, "because, as a mother, I wanted to celebrate the many ways in which women weave generations together by passing wisdom and love on to their daughters." To help other women partake in this celebration, she provides a magnificent framework full of ideas, reminiscences, projects, recipes, tidbits of history, and general encouragement so that mothers and daughters of every age can share family traditions and create brand new ones together. Besides the indubitable memory album, Marlow offers extensive general suggestions for projects involving sewing and other needle arts, entertaining, nature crafts, "home arts" (decorating, canning, gardening), genealogy, and holidays and special occasions, as well as observations about life appreciation, spirituality, and the power of feminine mystique. Her graceful writing skillfully interweaves her own experiences with her extensive research--she interviewed more than a hundred women from across the country and incorporates their mother-daughter consciousness as an integral part of her message. Read it cover to cover or dip into at random as the mood strikes: virtually every page exudes wisdom, reassurance, and imaginative ideas. --Amy Handy
