Great go-to handbook for mother/daughter issues!

As one of three sisters, I am the oldest. I also have a teenage daughter myself. This book has helped be immensely in understanding the complicities of the mother & daughter relationship. I read the book, and then renewed it to go through it again. I now am purchasing a copy to have on hand as an invaluable reference tool! I highly reccomend Dr. Mintle's book for anyone seeking a better understanding of this very important relationship. It was a true eye opener for me!!

Thought-provoking, life-changing, excellent!

This book will change the way you look at your mother no matter what your particular circumstance. Dr. Mintle has an excellent way of addressing the intimate bond between mother and daughter, whether you only have the occastional miscommunication and argument, whether you come from a situation where your mother was abusive, and everything in between. It is different from other books in that its main focus is what YOU can do with the situation, how YOU can be proactive in improving your relationship with your mother, and how powerful forgiveness can be. It is also written with a Christian perspective, and I found that as I read the book, I could apply the principles not just to my relationship with my mother, but also to other relationships in my life. You will not be disappointed with this book!

This book made a difference !

Love the cover and then I read the statement, "I love my mother but..." I just said those words to a friend. My mom is great but we have our "issues". This book really helped me gain perspective and work through the problem-spots. The advice is very practical and easy to apply. Dr. Linda has obviously made the journey with her own mom because she is so in tune with the mother-daughter relationship. I highly recommened this book to anyone who wants to improve her relationship with her mom.
