From Mother to Daughter: Advice and Lessons for a Good Life

When Sherry Appel asked hundreds of women to recall the most memorable and valuable words their mothers had told them, there came an outpouring of things practical and indispensable, some familiar and many surprising. This beautiful book celebrates the special relationship between mothers and daughters and captures the wisdom and common sense that comes from many lifetimes of experience. It is a gift that no one can give without remembering something her own mother said. Advice like: "If you don't love it in the store, you'll never wear it;" "Make friends with people who encourage and inspire you;" and "When you fall, pickup something while you're down there!"
