The purpose of this book was to share actual real-life stories with other women, mothers and future mothers in hopes of strengthening, improving, and encouraging an open and honest dialogue between a mother and her daughter(s). The women who contributed to this writing felt strongly about sharing their personal experiences while growing up with their mothers. Their conversations are intimate and focus primarily on the lessons, topics, and questions that were avoided and how the lack of communication impacted and affected their lives.
They consented to participate in this endeavor as a freeing and healing opportunity for women who may have encountered some of the same or similar experiences. It was a cathartic release for them and a means to hopefully encourage other women to face their own past and present struggles. They wanted to speak on how they were able to deal with their challenges (mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically), the lessons they learned …and the paths they chose toward healing. They concluded that it is not always easy to move forward from life’s challenges, but we do have the strength to try. We just have to continue to dig deep inside. The life experiences that are addressed are all issues that are relevant today. self- esteem, teen pregnancy, drug abuse, domestic violence, dating, sexual assault, cheating, racism, mental illness, bullying, body image, obesity and relationships are some of the topics explored. Not only is it important for mothers to address these current social issues with their daughters but it is crucial that fathers discuss them with their sons as well.
