Hi everyone.
I read a book a few years back about a woman who started a mother-dtr. book
club for 12-13 year olds (I htink it was called the "Mother Daughter Book
club"...).
It is set up not a book-report-type book club but as a forum designed to
allow moms and dtrs as they grow together to discuss various life issues.
Sounds good to me and I would like to start one.

I would like to know if anyone out there has done this or is contemplating
it or just has some great ideas.
We have about 5 hsing moms' plus dtrs. lined up. I have the book "100 great
books for girls to grow on to source material for a start.
Just need some more input...
Thanks, Brooke

Susannah Sheffer, former editor of Growing Without Schooling, has written a
couple of books about writing with children, and about adolescent girls. Go
to http://holtgws.com <http://holtgws.com/> , link to FUN books, and look
for her name – I can’t remember the exact titles right now. There’s also a
publication for teenage girls called New Moon – don’t know how to track that
down. Grace Llewellyn’s books, The Teenage Liberation Handbook and Real
Lives, might be of use, too.

If anybody’s interested in writing, as opposed to reading, I recommend
Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones. I’ve heard of a book called
Questions for My Father, written by a man who compiled the questions he
wished he’d asked his father before he died. Seems applicable to mothers,
too – I haven’t read it.
