Product Description

Review

"Their jaunty prose and irreverent attitude enliven the proceedings."

Product Description

Travel is greatly shaped by those with whom we travel, and relationships are greatly shaped by the challenges of traveling togetherwhich is precisely what makes this collection, with its specific focus on mother-daughter travel, so compelling. At some times irreverent and funny, at others, thought-provoking and reflective, these stories reveal what happens when mother and daughter step out of the complacent familiarity of routine into uncharted territory. Molly McHaney relates her struggle for independence as she, at twenty-seven, and her mother, at fifty-three, head off on an African safari. Janna Graber brings her ten-year-old daughter to Thailand while she writes an article on child prostitutionand realizes that the subjects of her article are the same age as her daughter. New York Times writer Susan Catto relates her familial adventures on a Canadian canoe trip. Forced to interact in a newand sometimes harrowingcontext, these women offer not only ample inspiration and insight into how travel shapes this most complex and intimate of relationshipsbut a delightfully engrossing medley of travel adventures as well.

By A Customer
This review is from: Making Connections: Mother-Daughter Travel Adventures (Paperback)
The mother daughter bond has been explored from many angles, but never like this. It was heartwarming to read of the stories and see how travel had enriched their lives

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read and excellent gift!, Feb 16 2004
This review is from: Making Connections: Mother-Daughter Travel Adventures (Paperback)
A great collection of stories which explore the internal and external excitement of travel, the cultures we experience, the comparisons to the one we come from, the reasons we are drawn to these places, and most importantly the insights we gain and how they relate to those we love and are closest to. A thoughtfully compiled, intelligently edited and beautifully written book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Connections; Mother-Daughter Travel Adventures, Jan 12 2004

This review is from: Making Connections: Mother-Daughter Travel Adventures (Paperback)
I picked this book up to read the story written by Marjorie Ford, whom my husband knows slightly. I ended up reading the book from cover to cover--and I never traveled much with my mother, and I don't have a daughter. It is just a wonderful collection of stories about relationships.
