Synopsis

Share your own mother's wisdom at the Things I Want My Daughters to Know website

When Barbara realizes time is running out, she writes letters to her four daughters, aware they’ll be facing the trials and triumphs of life without her at their side. But how can she leave them when they still have so much growing up to do?

Take Lisa, in her mid-thirties but incapable of making a commitment; or Jennifer, trapped in a stale marriage and buttoned up so tight she could burst. While twentysomething Amanda is the traveller, always distanced from the rest of the family. And Hannah. A teenage girl on the verge of womanhood, about to be parted from the mother she adores.

But by drawing on the wisdom in Barbara’s letters, the girls might just find a way to cope with her loss. And in coming to terms with their bereavement, can they also set themselves free to enjoy life with all the passion and love each deserves?

The bestselling Elizabeth Noble returns with a tale of families, friends... and the glorious, endless possibilities of life.

Critic Review:

'...it would be a hard heart indeed that remained unmoved …
the tender feelings she engenders in her readers are to be cherished'
