LETTERS TO MY DAUGHTERS

TV personality and political consultant Mary Matalin imparts a lifetime of wisdom to her young daughters in this series of letters covering everything from love to choosing a career to dealing with raging hormones. Her letters are heartfelt and honest, and her own reading of these gems of wisdom enhances that sense of devotion a mother feels toward her children. Matalin's trademark nasally voice and impeccable comic timing complement her wit and self-deprecating humor. Rather than focusing on politics, Matalin takes a nonpartisan approach to parenting that incorporates strong family values, a lot of love, and a tough work ethic. It's savvy advice for any parent and an enjoyable listen for any mother seeking support. H.L.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 04]
