Mothers and daughters often see themselves when they look at each other: mothers seeing themselves as a child again and daughters glimpsing the woman they will likely become. While this can be frightening at times, it also can be comforting. A daughter needs her mother to tell her the journey from girl to woman is more exciting than frightening and, with the blessing of children and grandchildren, the journey never ends. In his relationship with his own daughter, Greg Lang admits that while she once was his "playful partner in crime" and "most adoring audience," she now turns to her mother for consolation and understanding. "Mothers are the best listeners," he writes, "whether the news is good or bad. Moms know the reason for tears need not always be explained, but a big hug, a laugh, and chocolate always make things brighter." A mom is a daughter's role model through each stage of life, and wise and fortunate mothers are able to stay one step ahead of their daughters' development along the way. A mother's comfort soothes hurt feelings from playground to prom, from first-job pitfalls to first-pregnancy concerns. There is no substitute in a daughter's life for Mom. With charming photographs of mothers and daughters of various backgrounds and ages, Why a Daughter Needs a Mom will inspire mothers everywhere to empower their daughters to reach their full potential in becoming strong, purposeful, independent women.

"Even while Randall was speaking, it was Pietro I saw, the tenderness in his dark eyes looking at me, the caress in his soft voice.  In Randall's voice there was not a shred of emotion; nor was there any in his expression.  How should I respond?  What should I say?  I knew this was the hardest decision I would ever have to make.  Either choice would demand a different price.  Was I prepared to pay it?  Was love enough in the one to bridge all the other differences of nationality, religion, and heritage?  Was family loyalty, future security enough to decide for the other?  What was my destiny?" The heroine of DESTINY's BRIDE is Druscilla Montrose, who first meets Randall Bondurant when she is a bridesmaid at his wedding to her cousin Alair Chance.  Eight years later, after Alair's mysterious death, they meet again in a chance encounter.  This leads to a strange series of events in which Druscilla debates, then accepts the position offered her by Alair's widower.  Against all advice, Dru becomes governess to her two motherless little cousins, a difficult decision because of the suspicions and accusations of family and friends that Randall might have been responsible for his wife's death.  She travels with the family to Italy.  Here against the romantic background of nineteenth-century Europe, Druscilla receives two unexpected offers:  One is a love that will mean giving up her heritage; the other requires a decision more important than any she has ever had to make before.  Dru's choices bring her into conflicts of loyalty, challenges of faith and duty, and threatened danger, as well as romance.
