Customer Reviews

All daughters should read this!

My mother bought me this book when I was in the hospital to pass the time. I loved all three stories. I agree that Margot Early's story reveals the complex problems that arise from alcoholism, but to me it shows that love doesn't have to be perfect, and that we can make mistakes and still have happy endings. In fact, I thought it was the best story of the book. Both of the other stories show the struggle I think we all face to avoid being just like our mothers, until we realize we love our mothers, and being like them would not be such a bad thing.

Skip the Last Story and This Book's a Winner!!!!

This is a worthwhile anthology to buy. Janice Johnson's story about a woman who is afraid of turning into her mother is fabulous and quite funny. When her mother sets her up with a great guy, she rejects him . But she doesn't count on him trying to lose favor with her mother, just so he can be with the daughter. Then, Jan Freed's story about a woman, the man she's going to marry, and the family that is organizing the whole event is also a pleasure to read. If you thought your family was tough, just wait until you read about Lindsey's. A note of warning, however. Margot Early's story is terrible. A complete downer. Skip it, and enjoy the other two, which well make up for the last story. Several touching stories about mothers and daughters.
