My Daughter, My Friend: Letters to a Daughter
Out of stock
There are many things a mother longs to tell her daughter about growing up, to prepare her for the adult world, to share a bit of herself and to link her with her heritage.
My Daughter, My Friend is a set of personal letters in which Irene Chua shares her deepest thoughts as a mother with her daughter, Ming, as she approaches womanhood.
Written when her daughter was 17 till she turned 21, these letters, while celebrating that unique relationship between a mother and a growing up daughter, provides valuable insights into life, which mothers sometimes wished they knew how to put across and daughters wish their own mothers had talked to them about.

Reviews
“As the father of a daughter who is fast approaching her teens, I found much in Irene’s book that I’d like my precious child to know when she’s ready. I’m sure mothers will see even more in these letters and may want to use them as a timeless stimulus and resource for meaningful mother-daughter correspondence. It's also an excellent study in impactful communication. — Phillip Towndrow, Christian Educators Together
“...Chua's thoughts, concerns and questions about what is important for her teenage daughter in most cases echo the universal concerns of mothers across time and space. ” — Raihanah M.M., Asiatic: IIUM Journal of English Language & Literature
"I was inspired to start writing letters to my children. And I am enjoying a closer relationship with them through more open communication. Thanks so much for sharing." — Eileen Shu Portwood, mother of a boy aged 15, and a girl aged 16
“Beautifully heartwarming... a delightful collection of cherished moments between mother and daughter. Relevant then, these lessons in life are still very real today. Motherhood isn’t easy, but this book is a touching reminder that the end result is well worth the journey.” — Tania Tai, mother of a girl aged 13, and two boys, 8 and 15
