The Queen of Damn Good Advice to provide a wealth of wisdom and inspiration for daughters heading off to college and going for their goals. She even offers suggestions for those preparing for marriage or struggling with divorce or other drama. In short, this book empowers daughters and lives up to the subtitle: A savvy mom helps daughters command and rule their life!PRAISE FOR THE QUEEN OF DAMN GOOD ADVICE   "A delightful follow-up to The Gospel According to Mama, I found this book full of damned good advice for those days I'm the queen...and the many I still feel like the princess...and many reminders of conversations I should have with the two princesses in my realm as they struggle onward.  It would make a great addition to any book club reading list, especially those that cherish spirituality and the teachings of the Bible." Meg Welch Dendler, author of Why Kimba Saved The World and mother of two teenage daughters   Annette Bridges' conversational tone is like coffee and a chat with a wise, caring friend. Though written for mothers and daughters, The Queen of Damn Good Advice is for anyone with a spiritual nature who wants to live a fulfilling life and stop "energy leaks" that affect us all. Spiritual rather than religious, I felt Bridges' use of Bible quotes enhanced the writing, without being preachy. The more I read, the more I looked forward to continuing on. ~ Joyce Shafer, Life Empowerment Coach; publisher of the online newsletter, State of Appreciation; and author of I Don't Want to Be Your Guru, but I Have Something to Say.   So many times advice books offer a well-meaning anchor... which weighs you down.  Happily, Annette Bridges' advice to young women is the opposite -- it's uplifting and, well, actually fun.  Inspired by her own ups and downs as her daughter left home, married, divorced, and started life anew, Bridges recognizes that God always has our best interests at heart.  Bridges' breezy stories, based on experience and analyzed with common sense and gentle faith, will win smiles from daughters... and mothers, sisters, nieces everywhere. Julie Hedgepeth Williams, author of A Rare Titanic Family:  The Caldwells' Story of Survival.   Don't be fooled by Annette Bridges' homespun prose--there is genuine wisdom in this book, not just for mothers and daughters, but for everyone. One has to admire her courage and generosity in revealing some very personal incidents simply because she knew they might help someone. Amy H. Duncan, author of Getting Down to Brass Tacks - My adventures in the world of jazz, Rio, and beyond   Take a day and go to the beach, mountains or wherever you find inspiration and read, The Queen of Damn Good Advice.  If I were asked to sum up this book in one word it would be honesty.  It is a brutally honest look at the author's life and lessons learned.  What I appreciated was the way it got me to rethink some of the challenges in my own experience and how to find solutions.  Her description of self-pity as "wounded ego" gave me plenty to be honest about in my own life. I loved thinking about the seven wonders being to see, hear, feel, touch, taste, laugh and love vs. places and things.  It turned my thought to gratitude instead of regret or despair over lost opportunities.  Annette writes with poignancy, depth and humor.  It will start the "mental wheels turning" and perhaps move you forward when you have felt stuck in life.  Well done!
