Dear Daughters-Love Letters to the Next Generation {Book Review}



I absolutely love the encouragement I have gotten from Dear Daughters; Love Letters to the Next Generation. First of all, I’ve never been so moved & excited just by reading the forward of a book before! Sweet affirmation written by Hayley E. Morgan. And the words of Susie Davis within the first couple of chapters are encouraging and convicting. Turning 44 a couple of months ago and reading this is incredible—it’s reminding me of my role as a daughter of God and a mentor to others. Such great wisdom throughout the entire book!

My favorite thing about the way Susie Davis has written this book is her approach  towards encouragement. She completely embraces every mom, at every stage, and validates working moms, stay-at-home moms, moms juggling various roles, and any "mom combination" you can envision. Her writing style and her word choice are quite focused on inclusion, which is the best encouragement I believe any mom can receive! The chapters are short yet rich. Dear Daughters has a nice reading pace and is small enough to fit in a purse, diaper bag, carry-on, etc. And many times, the areas of my book I had highlighted were also written larger on a page--great way to 'flip through' the book again and again to get the reminders of how much God loves us and wants the best for us. Highly recommend!

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher, but was under no obligation to write a review. My honest opinion has been provided without any requirement to write a positive review.
