Thanks for reviewing this book @Jeg encouraging me to read it. I havent read a book about estranged family members for a long time, and this was just written so well. Hillary is the widowed mother of two daughters who are no longer speaking to each other. We have her POV, Esther and April, the two middle aged daughters, and Lawrence, Esther‘s ex-husband. Each of them are at a crossroads. ⬇️
Good advice, though most of it wasn‘t really applicable to me. Helpful to have it broken down into work, family come on friend, etc.
“You can‘t control how you feel. But you can always choose how you act.”
“Focusing on what you can‘t control makes you stressed. Focusing on what you can control makes you powerful.”
“That‘s the problem w/so many adults we‘re all focused on getting it perfect, instead of trying. What ever happened to good enough?”
Note: I haven‘t read the tagged book but think I need to 😂😬🤪🤦♀️
Also note: we need healthy boundaries. I‘m trying. Love you, @TheBookHippie and all the #BBB ladies 💚💚 #mondaymood
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I was hoping to get to understand the deep emotions of women who love too much and why they feel more deeply than others but the focus of this book was only on women who had an abusive relationship with their parents and especially alcoholism was the center of this book, and that wasn‘t what I expected from this book, neither did it gave me the explanation I am still craving so much. The stories of those women were still interesting and deep tho.
A gift from a friend. “When a friend says, I want to send you a gift, don‘t protest! Just let ‘em!” (I have no idea if that is a good example of what I will learn in this book, but I do respect when a friend wants to give, then embrace the sentiment and allow the joy of receiving.) Thank You, NeEtta! And don‘t let anyone tell you how you are supposed to feel, how you are supposed to grieve, how you need to care for your family 💖 Ignore them?
