THINGS I WANT MY DAUGHTERS TO KNOW

Book ID/图书代码： 03540007B15613

English Summary/英文概要： This novel is definitely not chick or mom lit. It’s solid women’s fiction - a touching family story. It begins when Barbara, the charismatic and loving (but not perfect) mother of four daughters, dies of cancer at only 60 and her family has gathered for the funeral. Her daughters range in age between 15 and late 30s, the youngest one being the product of her second (very happy) marriage to Mark, who has also become a supportive father to the older girls. When Barbara dies, each daughter is at a secret crossroads in her life, one deciding whether to divorce, one whether to throw aside her commitment issues and marry, one whether to stay put nearer home for a while after a decade of running away, and Hannah the youngest facing her coming of age (now without her mother and with a grieving father).
The full story of THINGS I WANT MY DAUGHTERS TO KNOW encompasses the year after the funeral, when everything seems to fall apart. However - Barbara has left each of her daughters a letter, and a copy of a journal she’s written while sick, filled with memories, past mistakes, and advice she had never had the chance (or courage) to give to them in real life. As a result, the secrets out, things get worse, then when the family finally pulls together they slowly get better, and the book ends complete with a joyous celebration the following summer.
