5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Buy this book.By J. GoldsteinI got this book in the year following my Mother's death, back in 1994. Since then, I have bought and given away countless copies. This book addresses, in an amazing way, the particular loss of a mother to a daughter, at any time of life. If you are a woman who lost her mom, or know a woman who has, get this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
