Mother-Daughter Duet
Getting to the Relationship You Want With Your Adult Daughter
By Cheri Fuller and Ali Plum
A Harmonious Relationship is Possible!
When your daughter was born, you had a thousand hopes and dreams for her…including that one day you’d be best friends.
But as life unfolds, even the best intentions go awry. There are so many challenges on the journey to adult friendship that the reality is fraught with friction and frustration. Thankfully, a harmonious relationship with your daughter is possible.
Written by a mother and daughter who have successfully navigated the minefield from distance and tension to acceptance and friendship, this book helps moms open wide the door of communication so that daughter want to walk through it. Filled with personal anecdotes and based on proven principles, each chapter offers timeless wisdom as well as a daughter’s perspective. Often these principles apply to daughters-in-law as well.
What I value most from this book is how the reader can view this, either from a mom wanting to secure that kind of relationship with her daughter someday or as a adult daughter looking for a way to secure that kind of relationship with her mother. I saw it both ways, initially from a mother with an upcoming adult daughter at 16 as well as how to repair the relationship I have currently with my own mom.
The principles in the book allow you to see things from both sides because you view it from a mothers side of things as well as how the daughter views that same situation. The book takes you through church attendance, communication, marriage, child birth, the empty nest and how moms fail to take care of ourselves long after our kids are gone. We never stop being moms!
A great book and one I would highly recommend to any one who is a mom, a daughter or in laws, to those that counsel relationships, it would be a valuable tool to use in making those relationships better.

Great concept for a book. There's always a desire to connect and related and understand the relationships with my adult daughters.
This sounds great too! You have gotten some good books lately.
As a mom of a daughter, sounds good.

Kat, you know what's funny, is that I read this earlier today and thought for sure I left a comment but I know I was in a hurry so maybe I didn't! LOL! But now I am!
It sounds like a really great book.

Good review and it looks like a good book. One thing I do not need right now is another book to read. However, I will mention this one to Charlotte.
I think the relationship between a mother and daughter is very special. Of course, since I only have boys I'd have to say that it's special between a mom and sons too!
