Books our mothers read and shared with their children

33 mothers write about children, sex, men, aging, faith, race, and themselves. Told in prose that is as unabashedly frank as it is lyrical, this is the collective voice of real mothers-raised above the din-in all their humor, anger, vulnerability, grace, and glory.

But with your 24/7 schedule, you can always use extra help. That's why this book was written - to give you (or any dad, grandmother, or grandfather) more "Cool Mom secrets" to pass along to the next generation.
You Can Do It! is the vision of Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, a heroine of United Flight 93 and a woman who was an inspiration to all who knew her. Lauren's dream was to create the ultimate self-empowering resource, a book to help women of all ages realize their dreams. Inspired by her beloved Girl Scout badges, nurtured to publication by her family and friends—led by Lauren's two sisters, Vaughn and Dara—You Can Do It! is the merit badge handbook for every grown-up girl who's said, "I wish I could..." |
