bedrock issues such as friendship, sexuality, and paying the
bills."

invitation. Come with me, she seems to say, and together we can
figure out how to do this thing called life."
--Shelf Awareness "Parental wisdom with a remarkably gentle and
generous touch. . . Bergen's book is poised and bracing; her
authoritative and friendly attitude is almost more fortifying than
the specifics of her advice. . . a masterful writer."

been waiting for...this enchanting book will leave readers in
tears, laughs, and inspire bouts of every feeling in between."
- Ms. Career Girl "With charming candor and insight, Bergen
addresses her college-bound daughter on subjects such as love,
friendship, education and work... She discusses career moves and
handling prickly employers and sudden terminations with grace
before meaningfully recounting her experience with depression and
the death of her alcoholic father. Her comments on divorce are wise
and sensitive...She is at her most poignant when describing the
fluctuations of intimacy and parental control with a child on the
verge of adulthood... well told and piercing in its honesty."
