A laugh-out-loud, make-you-cry tribute to that roller coaster ride we call the mother-daughter relationship. Selected as a Top Ten Catholic Hardcover, this sweet and sassy collection of poems explores the best--and bittersweet--moments of raising a daughter. The result is a wonderful keepsake gift ideal for special occasions such as confirmation, graduation, Mother’s Day, wedding day, or the birth of a daughter or granddaughter. Plenty of room to record special memories of your own!
I catch you trying on my bra. Like a doe made immobile by the glare of headlights, you stand frozen in my stare-- a sight at once lurid and adorable. (A definite Kodak moment, though I wouldn't dare.) Taking in the tangled heap of lace on the bed before you, the tubes and compacts splayed on the counter behind you, and the pitiful picture of your sweet lips smeared with "Cinnamon Sin" and "Mango Mama," (You're mixing colors? That's great!) by a hand whose pudgy contours will still grip lollipops better than lipstick for some years to come, I suppress my smile and give an apprizing nod. "Good choice. Beige doesn't show through." Excerpted from Dancing with My Daughter, copyright 2003 by Jayne Jaudon Ferrer
