Chicken Soup for the Mother & Daughter Soul: Stories to Warm the Heart and Honor the Relationship

A Celebration of Love and Wholeness

There is a special bond between a mother and her daughter that, in the vast scope of human relationships, is unparalleled. Sometimes fragile and tenuous but at once as enduring as the Rockies, it is a relationship that is neither static nor shallow. It is evolving and forever—a deep and eternal wellspring.

In her daughter, a mother sees her hopes and expectations; fulfillment, perhaps, of her dreams and a journey down the road not taken. From her first breath, a daughter opens new vistas for her mother to reach beyond herself.

In her mother, a daughter sees her foundation; her history and the lives of all those women who came before her. She sees herself and understands what it means to be a woman.

In this remarkable collection, you will read stories of love and courage, loss and reunion, sacrifice and redemption and everyday caring that make up life. Whether you are a new mom in awe of your daughter's first step, or a seasoned mom who has just caught yourself saying "Because I said so!"; a sixteen-year-old who can’t understand why her mom doesn’t want her to drive, or a forty-year-old who finally figured out why her mother sacrificed her career for her kids, you will be touched and inspired by these heartwarming stories that illuminate the mother/daughter relationship.

This extraordinary book will open your eyes anew to the most special women in your life.
