<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the bestselling author of "Surrendering to Marriage" comes this book of inspiration and advice for adult daughters on making peace with Mom while there is still time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Iris Krasnow -- mother, daughter, and best-selling Journalist -- tackles the toughest relationship in the lives of many grown women: the mother-daughter bond. With women's life expectancy inching up past eighty, you may be embroiled with your mother well past the time your own hair turns white. The good news: Living longer means more time to make peace -- and this book shows you how. Drawing on her own experience with her colorful eighty-four-year-old mother and the collective wisdom of more than one hundred other adult daughters, Krasnow offers a fresh perspective on how to overcome the anger, guilt, and resentment that can destroy a family. The time to repair the bond is now, she reminds us: You can't kiss and make up at her funeral. The key is to let go of the fantasy mom and embrace the flesh-and-blood woman, with all her flaws.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Iris Krasnow</i> is a <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author, professor, and camp counselor.
