I was really hoping that I'd be able to get some true insights from this book. I love my husband dearly, and I wanted to have a good happy relationship with his mother. But we've always been distant, and I haven't known how to get through it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any help from this book! Its focus is on presenting a set of stories in which the daughters-in-law are completely nasty, and it doesn't provide any information at all on how to work through a slightly strained relationship where nothing 'bad' has actually happened. As well, the strong religious focus turned me off. This book was most definitely a disappointment.

It is clear that this author is extremely one-sided and does not get the complexities of the issues at hand. ALL relationships are two-sided and these relationships only present one side of the coin.
If the author really believes what she has written then it will be obvious to all readers why she does not get along with her daughter-in-law. She is an EXPERT in how not to get along!

I got this book to help with my strained relationship with my mother in law and all the book did was tell stories about how terrible daughter in laws are and how the daugher in laws should basically worship the ground the mother in law walks.

After each story about the wicked daughter in law in had questions to ponder and no answers. I was hoping for some tips on how to better deal with my mother in law. The only tip I got was not to recommed this book to any of my friends who have strained relations with her in laws.

The author who wrote it has a very antiquated look on the relationship between mother and daughter in law and didn't tackle any of the issues - juggling work, family and in laws that I think we can all use some help on. Pass on this book

This book was terrible!!! I doubt that anyone that reads this book will come out the better for it. Readers Please...trust me when I tell you that Mrs. Verra, does not know the first thing about how to be a good mother-in-law...what constitutes a good daughter-in-law...or how these two should get along. Her views are so out of the park. In her eyes the Mother-in-law (aka. Her) will never be wrong.

Please do not use this book as a foundation to build a loving relationship with your Mother-in-law. It would probably have the opposite effect for you. This book is so full of stories about the nasty daughter-in-law. What a bunch of .... Mrs. Verra needs to see that her daughter-in-laws owe her nothing. Respect is earned!!! If she does not deserve respect then she should not get it...if she does it will only engourge her already huge ego and misperception of her daughter-in-laws role in her life. Mrs. Verra should be happy her sons and daughter-in-laws let her in at all...because they are husband and wife and she is just the parent now.

These are only a few of the MANY problems with this woman's views. PLEASE DO NOT BY THIS BOOK!!!!

I would not recommend this book..............What Every Mother-In-Law Wishes Her Daughter-In-Law Knew but Was Afraid to Tell Her.........I donated it to the library!~I bought several books with this theme....

It was great to read and realize that I wasn't the ONLY MIL having the same issues and the solutions for some of the problems have helped me tremedously.....thank you!
