Caught between caring for their mothers and other responsibilities, women in midlife are affected by guilt, anger, and anxiety as they struggle to be good daughters. \u003cbr\u003eNow journalist-and daughter-Patricia Beard asks How can we make our peace with our mothers? What does it mean to be a good daughter? Why is it so hard? How can we do better? In this sensible and inspirational book, she explores the tensions of the mother-daughter relationship, the reality of being old in our society, and the new roles daughters formulate as their mothers grow older. In stories gathered from hundreds of interviews, she offers clearheaded and openhearted insights into the practical and emotional problems that confront mothers and daughtersand shows how even in the last, difficult phase, they can face change and loss with courage, compassion, and a stronger relationship. \u003cbr\u003e\"Fascinating and informativea valuable resourcea book I highly recommend.\"\u003cbr\u003e Horace B.
