Reviving Ophelia meets The Mother- Daughter Book Club in a
book that offers a proven model for staying connected
through adolescence There is no comment more troubling to the mother of a young
girl than “she loves you now, but just wait ’til she’s a
teenager.” Ten years ago, SuEllen Hamkins and Renee Schultz,
psychotherapy professionals with a combined forty years’
experience and both mothers of then seven-year-old
daughters, created The Mother-Daughter Project with several
other women in their community, with the hope of disproving
this damaging assumption. With their young daughters, the
group met regularly to speak frankly about such issues as
girls’ friendships (and aggression), puberty, the media’s
influence on their self-image and esteem, drugs, and sexuality. As their daughters matured, the mothers marveled at the
strength and confidence with which the girls thrived through
adolescence. The Project had succeeded in creating a haven
from the many perils of teen culture. Equally important, it
helped the mothers navigate their own fears and concerns
about adolescence with integrity and grace. At once simple and revolutionary, this book details the
success of the Mother-Daughter Project’s groundbreaking
model, providing the reader with a road map for
strengthening her bond with her own daughter, and providing
strategies for staying close through adolescence and beyond.
