Hi, all

We're going to be doing a display next month (in part because of Mother's Day) and I need some help choosing titles. I'm looking for titles that contain *positive* depictions of mother-daughter relationships. I'll compile the list.

Thanks!

*shrug* I asked and Cammie, who's in charge of the display, only wants mother-daughter books. (Sons are out of luck I guess.)

What about Jeanne Ray's books, Julie and Romeo and Step-Ball-Change. I
just started Eat Cake, and there is a daughter, but not sure yet if it
will be positive.

Also, Little Women.

"We could, for example, have pointed out that Darwin's theory of
evolution explains how lower life forms can evolve into higher ones,
which in turn makes it entirely reasonable that a human should evolve
into an orangutan (while remaining a librarian since there is no higher

Charms for the Easy Life by Kay Gibbons, maybe? I'm pretty sure it was a
positive portrayal of mothers and daughters...

A couple of Barbara Delinsky's books might fill the bill--For My Daughters and
Shades of Grace. It's been a while since I've read these, but I seem to
remember them as positive portrayals.

I don't think that Sheltering Rain, by Jojo Moyes, has been mentioned. It's actually about mother, daughter, granddaughter and their sometimes difficult relationships.

The Beach House by Mary Alice Monroe. The
mother/daughter relationship at the beginning of the
book is not a positive one, but by the end, I would
rate it very positive.

Christine, this may also be a stretch, but the book China Run by David Ball
might be a good choice for positive mother/daughter relationships. It's
based on an actual experience of an American woman who goes to China to
adopt a baby girl and what lengths this mother will (and does) go to keep
her daughter. It might be good to include something for this display that is
about adoption.

On another note, does anyone have any digital pictures of a book club that
they can share with me? I'd like to update our poster on book groups and
would like something a little more modern than the one that we used last
year. Thanks, Marika (send to me, not the entire list)
