Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Mother to Daughter
Melissa Harrison · 2005
68/100
👎 Skip It
As a gift book this is warm and easy to love — something a mother can press into a daughter's hands with a real feeling behind it. As a parenting guide with lasting depth it is thinner, and some of the traditional-gender framing will land differently depending on the reader. Good for the gift moment, not a go-to resource for sustained guidance.
