From the bestselling author of Necessary Journeys--here is the book every mother of a maturing girl will need to have on her shelf.

Unlike other books, Girl in the Mirror focuses on the interaction between mother and daughter during this decade-long process, and illuminates how both the mother and her understanding of her parental role need to evolve and change as her child enters a new and crucial phase of emotional and psychic growth.
