My Take on the Book
As I am not a mother of daughters but instead a father, I took a different read on this book. I have to say that even though I am a father, I still appreciated what the author had to say in this book. I found the book to be an easy to understand that is filled with so many great examples and practical advice! I loved all of the anecdotes that the author shares and stories that make the resources being shared so much more real for the reader.
The author takes her own experience and makes it real for the reader and because the author writes in such a way that allows you to be a part of the action, you can see and feel what the author is going through which makes the book that much easier to read and understand!
Whether you have daughters that are young or are in their teenage years this book will give you some great advice in helping you to form a great relationship with your daughters that will last for many years to come.
