Least helpful book on the subject by Veronika (Virginia, USA)  2 Stars
April 12, 2009
I was looking forward to reading this book. I have read a lot on the subject, from "Why you and your mother cannot be friends" to "Toxic parents". Starting with introduction I could not but suppress irritation. Clearly, you get this book to find out how to get normal relationship with your mother - meaning that now your relationship is far from being OK. In the introduction Norman Wright's daughter write about how wonderful her mom is, how helpful and understanding. Thanks a lot, that's nice to know. I proceeded, thinking that it will get better once they get to the subject.
The book is not well structured. There are too many letters from women, who are suffering (or suffered) being unable to make peace with their mothers, without any analysis or comments. The book is way too religious in my opinion. I would recommend reading the books I mentioned earlier.

RESTORING THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP by Heather Ivester (Georgia) 5 Stars
May 01, 2007
When you think about your mother's influence - even if she is no longer in your life - do you feel hurt, frustrated, or angry about your past?
If you have unresolved issues concerning your relationship with your mom, it can impact every area of your life. This book, written by licensed marriage and family therapist H. Norman Wright and his daughter, offers godly wisdom and practical insights to help today's women make peace with their moms.
Co-author Sheryl Wright Macauley admits that rebellion in her 20s caused a rift between her and her mom, yet through God's healing, their relationship has been restored. Using these experiences and God's wisdom, she wants to reach out to women and offer them hope.
Each chapter includes questions and space for journaling, making this a therapeutic experience for readers. Packed with real-life stories, I highly recommend this book for all moms and teen-up daughters to read.
