Dear Mom

Hear your daughter's heart... without the angst, arguments, or arm-wrestling. Raising a teen daughter can be like trying to chart a course underwater. You can drown in an ocean of one-word answers, defensive conversations, and unpredictable outbursts, and never get anywhere. Popular teen girls' novelist Melody Carlson helps you cut through murky, deep, uncharted and seemingly unsafe waters so you can hear what your daughter's really trying to tell you through her anger, silence, and mixed messages: "I need you, but I won't admit it." "I'm not as confident as I appear."
