This book is entitled
Things My Momma Never Told Me
That I Want My Daughter to Know. It is
the offspring of a conversation I had with my older sister several
months ago. As I recall, we were talking about men, as we often do, and
my sister made the comment “Momma never told us about that”. Her
statement struck a chord in me and as our conversation progressed, we
both came to the realization that our mother never had conversations
with us about much of anything pertaining to love, life choices, sex,
men, money or religion. We never discussed matters of the heart. This
book is different than other mother/daughter books on the market because
this book relays real life experiences of the women that were
interviewed.
I decided to poll one hundred women
across the nation to see if our realization was isolated, or if many
women had the same revelation about their mothers. I posed five
questions to these women: (1) What is one thing that your
mother never told you as you were growing up that you wish she had? (2)
How did not knowing this particular thing affect your life? (3) When
did you realize this particular thing for yourself? (4) Why is it
important to pass this particular information on to your daughter? (5)
Why do you think your mother never told you? I was bombarded with
responses, and they were amazing. This prompted me to write this short
book that is an eye-opener for both mothers and daughters. It is a
quick read, and is an excellent, practical gift for every woman. |
