No More Words
by Reeve Lindbergh
This is a tender tribute from daughter to mother, from one writer to another, rich with insight into life's final stage.
Good Daughters
by Patricia Beard
Adult daughters, even with the best intentions, can find the last years of their mothers' lives heartbreaking, frustrating, and filled with anxiety and guilt. Yet in this compassionate, lyrical book, journalist Patricia Beard shows that the end of life is a crucial stage in the mother-daughter relationship and that it can be satisfying and fulfilling. "Good Daughters" explores what it means to be a good daughter to an aging mother, why it is so hard, and how daughters can neutralize -- or at least recognize -- the old feelings that interfere with making clear-headed, warm-hearted decisions. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with gerontologists, sociologists, psychologists, and hundreds of women, the author offers insights and practical measures to enhance the mother-daughter bond.
Janet and Jackie
by Janice Pottker
Born to a wealthy Manhattan builder, Janet Lee was barely twenty-one years old when she married the handsome and dashing "Black Jack" Bouvier. The marriage, which produced two daughters, Jackie and Lee, was in all other respects a disaster and eventually ended in a scandalous divorce. Jack Bouvier was a glamorous and doting father, but it was Janet who set about securing her daughters' future the only way she knew how---by marrying well. Her second marriage, to Hugh D. Auchincloss, brought not only security but status to Jackie and her younger sister. Though Janet was often ignored or dismissed as a social climber, she was a constant and significant presence throughout Jackie's life. It was Janet who helped instill many of the qualities that would make Jackie famous: her inner strength and discipline; her rare mixture of charm and reserve; her exquisite taste and love of the arts. Janet not only played a pivotal part in Jackie's wedding to JFK, but often served as a stand-in for her daughter during the White House years. The only book to explore this fascinating mother-daughter relationship, Janet and Jackie is filled with stories never before published, shedding new light on the personal life of an American icon.
Dear Socks, Dear Buddy
by Hillary Rodham Clinton
In a world dominated by video games, voice mail, and television, it's easy to overlook the importance of the written word. If one very important thing parents can do to help their children learn is read to them, then encouraging them to write must run a close second. What better -- and more rewarding -- way to teach a child these invaluable communication skills than through letter writing? In her warm and engaging text, Mrs. Clinton suggests ways parents can help their children initiate and enjoy the experience of writing and receiving letters, sharing her family's (and pets') experience, and explains how letters to Socks and Buddy are received, sorted, and answered at the U.S. Soldiers' and Airmen's Home. Mrs. Clinton gives a brief "pet history" of the White House, from Dolley Madison's parrot and Teddy Roosevelt's children's menagerie to the Bushes' English springer spaniel Millie. She also talks about the ways Socks and Buddy participate in White House life, such as greeting guests and visiting hospitals and nursing homes. Fans of the First Pets will be delighted by a section on their vital statistics (Socks' tail length: 1 foot; Buddy's snout length: 5 inches) and answers to the questions most asked by correspondents ("Do you have room service?"). In Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, Mrs. Clinton also shares more than fifty letters children have sent the nation's First Pets, from a simple request for a "paw-tograph" to more exacting notes of good wishes ("I want to give you a big heart, as big as the whole world") and generous advice ("Just because they went on a trip and didn't take you doesn't mean they don't love you any more"). Illustrated with more than eighty photographs of Socks and Buddy on the job and at play in the White House, this book will inspire children to share their ideas and wishes through writing.
Love, Ellen
by Betty Degeneres
"Mom, I'm gay." With three little words, gay children can change their parents' lives forever. Yet at the same times it's a chance for those parents to realize nothing, really, has changed at all; same kid, same life, same bond of enduring love. Twenty years ago, during a walk on a Mississippi beach, Ellen DeGeneres spoke those simple, powerful words to her mother. That emotional moment eventually brought mother and daughter closer than ever, but not without a struggle. Coming from a republican family with conservative values, Betty needed time and education to understand her daughter's homosexuality -- but her ultimate acceptance would set the stage for a far more public coming out, one that would change history. In Love, Ellen, Betty DeGeneres tells her story; the complicated path to acceptance and the deepening of her friendship with her daughter; the media's scrutiny of their family life; the painful and often inspiring stories she's heard on the road as the first non-gay spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaigns National Coming Out Project. With a mother's love, clear minded common sense, and hard won wisdom, Betty DeGeneres offers up her own very personal memoir to help parents understand their gay children, and to help sons and daughters who have been rejected by their families feel less alone.
