  <description><![CDATA[Funny, poignant, and wise, <em>Designated Daughter: The Bonus Years with Mom</em> is D  .G. Fulford's uplifting story of how, after her father's death, she returned  home to become her mother's closest companion--a move that brought her more in  return than she could ever have expected. <br/> D.G. recalls how she and her mother--a pair who are opposites in almost every  way, including how they unload the dishwasher--came together to learn what it  means to be best friends, and to need each other in the truest sense. Sharing  her experience of the lessons, expectations, and surprises involved with  caregiving, D.G. also reveals her unique perspective as daughter, mother, and  grandmother--and the wonderful ways to honor four generations of family. D.G.'s  eighty-eight-year-old mother, Phyllis Greene, adds her own remarkable voice,  contributing her point of view at the end of each chapter.<br/> With humor and grace, D.G. and her mom talk about keeping in touch with D.G.'s  two brothers as the entire family copes with the challenges and pleasures of  change and transition. Woven throughout are the stories of other mothers and  daughters who, despite many hardships and sacrifices, manage to draw from their  mutual love and support and embrace these bonus years together as an opportunity  to celebrate each other's insight.<br/> This is a heartwarming, refreshing, and inspiring mother-daughter story about  sharing the very best years. Moving, sensitive, and above all, honest,  <em>Designated Daughter</em> speaks to the joys and privileges of bringing generations  together toward the end of life--a hopeful message for mothers and their children  everywhere.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Funny, poignant, and wise, <em>Designated Daughter: The Bonus Years with Mom</em> is D  .G. Fulford's uplifting story of how, after her father's death, she returned  home to become her mother's closest companion--a move that brought her more in  return than she could ever have expected. <br/> D.G. recalls how she and her mother--a pair who are opposites in almost every  way, including how they unload the dishwasher--came together to learn what it  means to be best friends, and to need each other in the truest sense. Sharing  her experience of the lessons, expectations, and surprises involved with  caregiving, D.G. also reveals her unique perspective as daughter, mother, and  grandmother--and the wonderful ways to honor four generations of family. D.G.'s  eighty-eight-year-old mother, Phyllis Greene, adds her own remarkable voice,  contributing her point of view at the end of each chapter.<br/> With humor and grace, D.G. and her mom talk about keeping in touch with D.G.'s  two brothers as the entire family copes with the challenges and pleasures of  change and transition. Woven throughout are the stories of other mothers and  daughters who, despite many hardships and sacrifices, manage to draw from their  mutual love and support and embrace these bonus years together as an opportunity  to celebrate each other's insight.<br/> This is a heartwarming, refreshing, and inspiring mother-daughter story about  sharing the very best years. Moving, sensitive, and above all, honest,  <em>Designated Daughter</em> speaks to the joys and privileges of bringing generations  together toward the end of life--a hopeful message for mothers and their children  everywhere.]]>

    <![CDATA[Funny, poignant, and wise, <em>Designated Daughter: The Bonus Years with Mom</em> is D  .G. Fulford's uplifting story of how, after her father's death, she returned  home to become her mother's closest companion--a move that brought her more in  return than she could ever have expected. <br/> D.G. recalls how she and her mother--a pair who are opposites in almost every  way, including how they unload the dishwasher--came together to learn what it  means to be best friends, and to need each other in the truest sense. Sharing  her experience of the lessons, expectations, and surprises involved with  caregiving, D.G. also reveals her unique perspective as daughter, mother, and  grandmother--and the wonderful ways to honor four generations of family. D.G.'s  eighty-eight-year-old mother, Phyllis Greene, adds her own remarkable voice,  contributing her point of view at the end of each chapter.<br/> With humor and grace, D.G. and her mom talk about keeping in touch with D.G.'s  two brothers as the entire family copes with the challenges and pleasures of  change and transition. Woven throughout are the stories of other mothers and  daughters who, despite many hardships and sacrifices, manage to draw from their  mutual love and support and embrace these bonus years together as an opportunity  to celebrate each other's insight.<br/> This is a heartwarming, refreshing, and inspiring mother-daughter story about  sharing the very best years. Moving, sensitive, and above all, honest,  <em>Designated Daughter</em> speaks to the joys and privileges of bringing generations  together toward the end of life--a hopeful message for mothers and their children  everywhere.]]>

    <![CDATA[Funny, poignant, and wise, <em>Designated Daughter: The Bonus Years with Mom</em> is D  .G. Fulford's uplifting story of how, after her father's death, she returned  home to become her mother's closest companion--a move that brought her more in  return than she could ever have expected. <br/> D.G. recalls how she and her mother--a pair who are opposites in almost every  way, including how they unload the dishwasher--came together to learn what it  means to be best friends, and to need each other in the truest sense. Sharing  her experience of the lessons, expectations, and surprises involved with  caregiving, D.G. also reveals her unique perspective as daughter, mother, and  grandmother--and the wonderful ways to honor four generations of family. D.G.'s  eighty-eight-year-old mother, Phyllis Greene, adds her own remarkable voice,  contributing her point of view at the end of each chapter.<br/> With humor and grace, D.G. and her mom talk about keeping in touch with D.G.'s  two brothers as the entire family copes with the challenges and pleasures of  change and transition. Woven throughout are the stories of other mothers and  daughters who, despite many hardships and sacrifices, manage to draw from their  mutual love and support and embrace these bonus years together as an opportunity  to celebrate each other's insight.<br/> This is a heartwarming, refreshing, and inspiring mother-daughter story about  sharing the very best years. Moving, sensitive, and above all, honest,  <em>Designated Daughter</em> speaks to the joys and privileges of bringing generations  together toward the end of life--a hopeful message for mothers and their children  everywhere.]]>
