No relationship is more complex than between mothers and daughters. As a mother, my ultimate goal is that my daughters will grow up to be my friends. As a daughter, I know that that friendship can be pretty rocky at times. Mother-Daughter Duet was written by the mother-daughter team of well-known author Cheri Fuller and Ali Plum. Who better to show the way than women who have successfully navigated the minefield from distance and tension to acceptance and friendship. While written mostly from a mom’s perspective to other moms, Ali adds just enough of a daughter’s perspective to balance it out. The authors include personal anecdotes and proven principles to help you improve your relationship with your daughter(s) and daughter(s)-in-law.Even though Mother-Daughter Duet is aimed towards mothers of adult daughters, I found many helpful insights to apply to my relationships with my teen and pre-teen daughters. Cheri and Ali discuss validation (needed by daughters of all ages), respect, crises, motherhood, and more in a relaxed, open tone that makes every mother—and every daughter—want a relationship like theirs. I think I’ll have to read this book more than once to glean all of its golden nuggets!

My mom raised me mostly as a single mom. When ever things got tough she would be there and with God's help we got through it! I would not be where I am today with out the support of my mom!!!

ReplyDeleteI am blessed with two daughters. I am hoping to have great relationships with both of them, and can use all the help I can get. I didn't have a real good one with my mom when I was growing up although it is better now.
