“ Her prose is spare, but rich with meaning and always very honest.” — The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“ Pithy wit and cute drawings sketch the happy tears, bittersweet memories and flares of anxiety that a daughter’s wedding elicits. ” — The Dallas Morning News

The relationship between a mother and daughter is often fraught — but never so much as during the preparations for that walk down the aisle. Ilene Beckerman has taken that walk with three daughters and tells us — with great wisdom and wit — why childbirth is less painful than planning a wedding.
