Author: Ford, Amanda

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.
