Product Description
From Library Journal
Negotiating the mother-daughter relationship during the teenage years is nearly always challenging. Here Ford, a family counselor, and her daughter Amanda, a college student, share their insights into building a successful relationship. The book is jointly written, and the authors explore such issues as trust and freedom, talking about difficult subjects, and avoiding guilt trips, with a major emphasis on finding ways to stay connected even when disagreements arise. The promise of a mutually nurturing future relationship is held out as the reason and key to weathering the storms of the teenage years. Some of these insights are affected by Judy's role as a single parent, but much of the writing will strike a familiar note with all parents of teenage girls. Recommended for public libraries as good reading for both mothers and daughters.AKay L. Brodie, Chesapeake Coll., Wye Mills., MD

From Booklist
This book, written by a family therapist and her teenage daughter, is a how-to for mothers and daughters struggling with their relationship. The Fords discuss such things as working through a variety of issues, from boyfriends to body piercings. Although the easy, blanket answer to relationship problems is "communication," everyone knows it is easier to say than to do. This book gives equal time to both the mother's and the daughter's side in every issue and acknowledges that a strong, healthy relationship requires hard work. There are also exercises for mothers and daughters to do together and suggestions on how to start difficult discussions. A valuable tool, it should be on the bookshelf of every girl and every mother as they navigate the complex and touchy teen years. Ellie Barta-Moran

Comfort "food",
By A Customer
This review is from: Between Mother & Daughter (Paperback)
I've bought many books trying to understand this passage in my and my daughter's life, and I needed to buy only this book. It confirmed with text what I was feeling and thinking and gave me a better perspective of her teenage life, which I had either forgotten or not come to grips with in these millennium years. I say the same about Wonderful Ways to Love a Teen, a companion book.

Refreshing approach to mother-daughter relationship,
By Lisa Winnett (Waitsburg, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Between Mother & Daughter (Paperback)
I just love this book. It has so many enlightening ideas on how to avoid blow ups and relate to each other with understanding. All it takes is a little thought before speaking. I think there are many mothers and daughters who would like this book, especially because it gives both the teenager's and the mother's viewpoints and feelings.
