Inspiration and advice for adult
daughters on making peace with Mom while there’s still time—from
the best-selling author of Surrendering to Marriage
Iris Krasnow—mother, daughter, and
best-selling Journalist—tackles the toughest relationship
in the lives of many grown women: the mother-daughter bond.
With women’s life expectancy inching up past eighty, you may
be embroiled with your mother well past the time your own
hair turns white. The good news: Living longer means more
time to make peace—and this book shows you how.
Drawing on her own experience with her
colorful eighty-four-year-old mother and the collective wisdom
of more than one hundred other adult daughters, Krasnow offers
a fresh perspective on how to overcome the anger, guilt, and
resentment that can destroy a family. The time to repair the
bond is now, she reminds us: You can’t kiss and make up at
her funeral. The key is to let go of the fantasy mom and embrace
the flesh-and-blood woman, with all her flaws.
