Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:America's most beloved columnist shares forty years of advice through letters to her daughter, collected here for the first time. This is simply a collection of a mother's letters to her only daughter--except that the mother is Ann Landers Esther "Eppie" Lederer , one of America's most famous letter writers. The letters span her daughter Margo's adult life--from marriages and divorces to growing up and growing old--all against a backdrop of warp speed changes taking place in American society between 1958 and 2001. The result is Eppie Lederer's unintentional memoir, filled with her witty observations, colorful character, and of course, motherly advice. Lederer was a master of the well-placed detail that affirmed the letters' role as a way for her to strengthen her most cherished relationships. Collected for over 40 yers, the letters show the woman as she really was--acerbic and spectaularly original. It also reveals Eppie's witty and wise insights into the human condition that allowed her to meet life's successes, setbacks, and ironies with equnimity and laughter.
