relationships, some happy ones, some sad ones. All empowering! Some daughters kept their traditions alive, while others made new ones! You may read some stories that you may relate to. All are meant to empower and inspire you in some way!

Friends commented on my relationship with my mother and asked if we had always had a close relationship. Actually, it was not until after I married that Mom and I became closer. Mom made sure I knew she was not my friend, nor did she want to be! Mom was my mother and I was her daughter. After having shared this bit of information with my friends, they, in turn, shared their stories with me! My friends and women who contributed their stories and my mom, my muse, inspired my story, and book.
