Summary: For anyone with a daughter, read with a tissue!
Review: My mother has always loved books by Carol Lynn Pearson; I think one reason is that she named her daughters Lynne & Carol (and we used to be Pearsons)! By far, this is my favorite Pearson book. Recommended by an Amazon friend, I bought this book for my mother who has always lived thousands of miles from me. As luck would have it, my daughter was visiting me when I started reading this lovely little story. From the very beginning, I knew this book was written about us. The tears started flowing on the first page and didn't stop until the last page of this poignantly written "Fable For Our Times." WILL YOU STILL BE MY DAUGHTER? is actually a parable about an acorn that falls from a beautiful, strong oak. The oak loves her daughter and wants to protect her from pain and disappointment. However, as in real life, we can only hope that our children will have the strength (roots) to persevere.
There is a special bond between a mother and her daughter and this book celebrates that bond. You must read this beautiful keepsake with your daughter, especially if she is going through a difficult time. I now need to buy another copy of this book for my mother. I loved this touching tale and recommend it to all mothers. Put it somewhere handy so it can be read over and over!

Summary: Growing Up and Away
Review: This was a wonderful, lovely book -- one that I plan to give as Christmas gifts to all of my friends and relatives who are the mothers of daughters. I have read it over and over, as has my soon-to-be-married daughter, with tears in our eyes.The truths contained in this tiny book are universal. I have loved watching my daughter grown to adulthood and become my dearest friend, growing in my shadow but always being her own person. I absolutely ADORED this book! Thank you, Carol, for writing it!
