Letters To My Daughters

Letters to My Daughters written by Mary Matalin would certainly be a good option to gift to a parent. Mary Matalin is a famed political consultant. She was the assistant to President George Bush and the councilor to Vice President Dick Cheney. She gave up her position of power in the White House to be a mother to her children Matty and Emma. She pens down her own experiences as a mother and what she could remember of her mother. It is a blend of the moral, ethical and humorous views of a mother. It is in the form of intimate and personal letters spelling out emotions ranging from devotion and dedication of a mother to impatience and irritation of having to deal with pesky children.

Mary wrote this book at the age of 50 when she had a more mature view of what parenting and mothering means. The book details the psychological upheavals she goes through when she finds herself pregnant and also relates the horrors of the tragic experience of losing a child. She also touches on aspects such as the children's reaction to debating parents and to working mothers, and especially to a mother who is a famous television personality.

It certainly would be a nice reading, fitting to the occasion of Mother's Day celebration. An ideal book to gift your beloved mother on the special occasion of Mothers Day! Even otherwise, this book is entertaining enough and gives you some useful insights into a mother's psychology.
