It is amazing how frequently I saw my own mother in so many of these wonderful stories. How interesting to discover thoughts and feelings I have long kept to myself were actually the thoughts and feelings of many. What a great book!

This is a beautiful book of short stories about the laughter & tears experienced between mother and daughter and, in some instances, 3 generations of mothers & daughters. There were a few stories that I really didn't see the point in and didn't understand why there were included, but all-in-all, the stories made me laugh and cry. I purchased the book as a mother's day gift for my mom, but had to read it myself first!

It's a great gift for yourself or mother/daughter. It's an enjoyable and sometimes tear-jerking read and sometimes a mirror of a relationship you have/had or would like to have.

Above average writing sets this book apart from others of its genre. Stories are engrossing without seeming contrived. All in all, a well put together collection of stories, quotes and cartoons that ACTUALLY is inspiring.

The stories in this collection are gems that every mother can relate to. If you're a mother or a daughter this book is a must read! The stories will make you laugh and cry and, best of all, you'll recognize yourself in many of the pages. Debbie Farmer, parenting author of 'Don't Put Lipstick on the Cat'

The Chicken Soup books are all good, but this is the best one I've read thus far. The stories are a bit deeper, and there are some famous people here who share their experiences--not all good, some embarrassing--in rare moments of confession/epiphany. I realize the book wasn't aimed at readers like me (a man), but I picked it up, started reading, and the next thing I knew, I was buying it. It provides great insight into a relationship men know little about, and explains a lot of the stuff that goes on around the house. I've ordered more to give as Mother's Day presents. It's a fine book, and women will think you're sensitive if you give them a copy. (You're not, of course, but the book will help you fake it.)

I have never read any of the books in the
"Chicken Soup" series until I was given a gift of
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE MOTHER & DAUGHTER SOUL.
Having read Julie and Dorothy Firman's first book
DAUGHTERS AND MOTHERS: HEALING THE RELATIONSHIP,
I expected good things. I was not disappointed.

The stories gathered by the authors are touching
and well written. I find myself both laughing and crying.
The personal vignettes are each complete unto themselves
and yet together they comprise a book of gentle
wisdom and insights. I've been inspired to order
eight copies to give to the mothers, sisters and
daughters in my life. One copy will be sent to
my grandmother who will soon celebrate her 100th
birthday.

When my daughters were growing up we would
sing this song to the tune of White Coral Bells:
"Hot chicken soup, in a china bowl. No matter what
your troubles, it will make you whole." This book,
if you allow it, will contribute to your wholeness.

If you're only going to read one Chicken Soup book, this is the one. The fact that the authors are world experts on the mother-daughter relationship makes this book especially compelling. The stories are moving and inspirational and run the gamut from funny to tragic. Once you start reading it's hard to put down. A ripping good read!

I highly recomend this book to every grandmother, mother, daughter, mother-to-be, sister, aunt, etc. No woman should go without reading these exceptional stories about the wonderful mother-daughter bond. It leaves you feeling warm and wanting to call your mother/daughter to express what they truly mean to you!!!

It was heart wretching and heart warming. I wanted my daughter to read it, too. I know she will enjoy it. Thank you.
