My favorite line "...my daughter will never tell her friends 'My mom doesn't trust me, and I appreciate that.'" This author has a lot of lines like that that hit home. Especially if you have teenagers, or even want to control your husband, this book can gently remind you how to let go and turn the control and fear over to God.
