Editorial Reviews
Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief
"...a smart, funny, practical guide to peaceful coexistence between mothers and daughters that imparts wit and real wisdom."
Book Description
For every woman struggling to raise a teenage daughter comes a hilarious yet practical guide to help mothers survive these trying years. "The two worst times in a woman's life is when she is 13 and when her daughter is 13," or so goes a popular maxim in psychology circles. During these adolescent years, mothers are constantly struggling with how to handle their daughters--and themselves around their daughters. WHEN WE'RE IN PUBLIC... is a survival handbook that discusses such important issues as beauty and body image, public behavior (both hers and moms), privileges and punishment, and sex. Written by the mother of a teenage daughter and featuring expert advice from a noted child psychologist, the book also offers simple steps to avoid disaster (i.e. before you think of dressing like your daughter, remember one word: Cher) and practical wisdom culled from numerous interviews with mothers of teenage daughters.
