Summary: Mothers' Love 101
Review: As a daughter, and as the mother of a beautiful, self reliant daughter I was touched by the intimacy this story evoked. How often have I had these very thoughts. It captured my heart, and sent me (in tears) to that place deep within, that each woman reserves for her own store of childhood memories. This book is a mirror- It confirms and affirms my mother's intense, fierce love for me, because I feel that same intense, fierce devotion to my daughter. What a connecting thread!!!! Get three copies of this book, one for your mother, one for daughter and one for yourself.

Summary: Daughters grow best not in their mother's shade.
Review: Hi, Reader! I am the author of "Will You Still Be My Daughter," Carol Lynn Pearson. One of the biggest shocks of a mother's life comes when she realizes that her children-particularly her female children-are not growing up to be exactly like her. She can mourn or beat herself up or blame her child-or she can watch in awe as someone quite unlike her and quite wonderful emerges. Watching my two daughters, Emily and Katy, grow from childhood to adulthood, giving up my designs for them in favor of the blueprint of their own souls and the wisdom of the universe, receiving these children as friends as well as daughters-has been one of the major joys of my life. I hope this book gives you-and your mother or your daughter-a new appreciation for one another and a new confidence in that ever-changing relationship.

Summary: Touching and True
Review: I bought this book for my mom while on my first vacation away from her in California. I was 18 years old and for quite sometime had been struggling with her issues of letting go. Because of this book I finally understood that she was also struggling with having to let go and I learned to be a little more patient. I think she too realized that although she couldn't always protect me, I would still be her daughter.

Summary: It speaks directly to Mother/Daughter relations
Review: I took this tiny book straight to heart. It said many of the things I wish I could explain to my daughter--about trying to give her full independence, yet never being able to stop being "her mother." Of course, I had to send a copy to my daughter--who read it aloud to her roommate--and they shed a few tears over the sentiments. Excellent communication!

Summary: The Perfect Mother-Daughter Gift
Review: If you have a daughter, particularly one who is on the brink of womanhood and preparing to leave or has already left the nest, this is the perfect book to give her. In other words, if you have a daughter 18 or over, give her this book immediately. You may even want to read it with her, but be warned that you will both shed a joyful tear or two. This short, picture-book for adults tells the story of a mother and child and the lessons they learn. Sadly, even a mother's love cannot protect a child against all life's hardships, but the irrevocable truth still stands: there is no greater love than that of a mother for a daughter and the nurturing love that melds into true friendship as years go by is a shared gift. Treasure this little book as you read it for a few minutes with your own daughter, and hold its message in your heart forever.
