You're Wearing That?by Deborah Tannen |
Gwendolyn Waring: : A great read for all mothers and
daughters---so for all of us women. It provides great insight on the most
difficult of all relationships. I learned so much and have already applied
some of the lessons learned in my interactions and communications with my
daughter. And it has been cathartic in working through the grief experienced
from the loss of my mother. Hair, clothes and weight...the hot buttons every
mother pushes. I had to laugh when I recently went to visit my daughter, she
mentioned that she had flat ironed her hair to please me. The book causes you
to step back and really examine what what you say; because life is too short.
It is the deep breath that you always wished that you had taken whenever a
mother or daughter pressed one of your buttons. I look forward to reading
her book on sisters next. I listened to it on my iphone; the actress who
read it did a superb job!
