    About this ebook

    Every mother—and every daughter—has a story, and four of the best appear in the second volume of this Shebooks/Good Housekeeping collaboration. Heartwrenching and heartwarming, these top picks trace the twisting contradictions in the relationships between four very different sets of mothers and daughters. In Yo-yo Mama, Laura Hurwitz describes the summer her mom introduced her to dieting, and the unintended consequences her new body sparked. In Happy Mommy Pills, Kathleen Founds tells what happens when the worst doesn’t happen to her young, pregnant self. Deborah Batterman’s Diamonds and Manicures considers the crossroads between femininity and feminism, and realizes that pampering herself does not mean giving up her principles. And, in The $25,000 Pyramid, Mashaw McGuinnis takes us on a rollicking ride in her almost-unbelievable tale of sneaking out of the house to audition for a TV game show—and transforming bitterness into a date with Betty White. True lives, deep emotions, compelling stories we all can relate to.

      A week after I found out my wife was pregnant, I realised I was going through a hyper-accelerated version of the seven stages of grief. Shock? Check. Depression? Check. Miscellaneous crying jags? Very much check. At one point, my wife asked me whethe

      ‘My Idea Of Happiness Has Changed’

      Aug 12, 2019

      When I was a little girl, my idea of happiness was books and baking. A day spent making a cake followed by curling up with the likes of Louisa May Alcott or Laura Ingalls Wilder was perfection. I was quiet and shy, not particularly physical or advent
