About this title

From the Author:

Mothers talk about the mother/adult daughter relationship.
Each of us is the mother of two daughters in their twenties. We were constantly surprised when conflicts and tensions arose between them and us. We began to realize that we understood them less than we believed we did and that we were often communicating ineffectively with them. We interviewed more than one hundred other women with newly adult daughters about how they're dealing with their daughters' life-defining choices--choice of partner, career, and lifestyle--and how they share the benefits of their own experiences with them. With the guidance of professional psychologists, we present these intensely personal stories in a context that will help mothers communicate their thoughts and feelings more effectively during these crucial years when their daughters are becoming adults.

Synopsis:
