Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Coffee table books are too often like today's movies: grandiose ideas as shallow as they are big. Yet despite its "high concept," this volume delivers beyond expectations. Jayne Wexler's photographs of mothers and daughters, like Lauren Cowen's words, are warm and personable; you really get to know the women pictured and profiled in these pages. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston, entertainer Eartha Kitt, and former Texas governor Ann Richards are among the celebrity moms who talk about their offspring in candid and amusing interviews, though most of the 30 families are everyday folks who could live next door.

Daughters & Mothers,
By Mike Coughlan (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daughters and Mothers (Hardcover)
Such a wonderful, heart-warming book of the relationships between daughters and their mothers. I have two sisters that adore their mother and after seeing this book, my mother started to cry. You can see it in the eyes of the characters. Great photos and story telling!

The stories in Daughters & Mothers are heart-warming, thoughtful, inspirational and educational. And, the photographs are amazing, too!
