As the daughter of an immigrant single mom, Michelle experienced the effects of having a mom who spent the majority of the time working hard to survive to make ends meet. Expectations were many but unspoken. Family dynamics were volatile and tenuous but not discussed.
Broken relationships were prevalent in Michelle’s life, but she was determined to earn her doctorate in counseling psychology and become a licensed clinical psychologist.
In this book, Michelle elegantly brings together her experiences as a daughter, mother of twin daughters, and psychologist as she looks into the mirror of her life and reflects on the struggles she has experienced as well as the difficulties that her clients have overcome. She meets her readers as if at a café table, candidly sharing those reflections with insightful clarity that sheds light on their personal situations.
What Mothers Never Tell Their Daughters gives you sage strategies and practical tools to help you navigate and improve your mother–daughter relationship.

What Mothers Never Tell Their Daughters is an incredibly important guide for these times. Dr. Deering has organized her perspectives as Daughter, Mother, and Psychologist in a format that make the read riveting. The flow kept this reader very involved; all the while, thinking of friends, colleagues and patients who would relate to the author’s journey and benefit from her gleaned wisdom. I recommend this book not only to women, but also to men who long for a road map to negotiate relationships with their Mothers, Significant Others, and Children.
