'Good Mother, Bad Daughter?' by Martha Penn is quite a poignant reminder of my childhood. I could relate to this type of situation quite well but I was on the opposite end of the spectrum as mine was my father not my mother. All the information is still applicable to my childhood with every example of abuse that was given. So many of the points made really struck a chord with me. These are things I'm still dealing with today and found Martha's suggestions of mindfulness meditation and Bach Flower Remedies quite helpful. Reading this made me quite aware of some things that hadn't even clicked yet and it making me rethink the way I have looked at events over the years. I am happy that Martha was able to understand her situation and as she so cleverly put it, 'Make Lemonade'. I know that many women will read this book and realize so many things that Martha brings up ring true with them as well.
