I liked this book. I thought authors, Sandra Butler and Nan Fink Gefen did a good job of compiling all of these different stories from many different women and walks of life. Although, I must admit that I found a bunch of the stories to be sad if not a little depressing. It is sad that some of the women's stories featured relationships with their estranged daughters. I could not imagine this type of relationship. This is because I am fortunate to have a close relationship with my mom. I try to visit at least every other weekend and although I only live about fifteen to twenty minutes away, after I leave I call or message my mom to let her know I got home safely. Additionally, I could relate to the fact that just because I am in my mid-thirties that I don't still need my mom. I still go to her for advice.

Although, many of the women's stories were uplifting to read. There were other mother/daughter relationships that were close like mine and others that they saw or spoke to their daughters every so often and they were fine with this. There was even one woman who traveled to another country to visit her daughter for a long trip. Then there were women who were not close before but have grown closer as the ages have gone by. I found this book to be a thoughtful read, if not a conversational piece. This book would be a good bookclub read as well. A mother's love never ends.

Has its share of touchy-feely stuff, but I felt this was pretty grounded overall. As someone new to meditation, I appreciated that Gefen includes lots of practical advice and tries not to make unrealistic promises; as a Jew, I liked that many of the exercises are designed to connect one to G-d and/or to Jewish concepts and values. I certainly enjoyed this far better than the online mindfulness class my wife and I have had to do for work -- vague yet hyperbolic claims and forced group intimacy are not a winning combination in my book.… (altro)
