Mothers send their daughters out into the world, hoping that they have taught them the basics- never answer the door before asking who it is, never wear white before Memorial Day, always make sure to write thank you notes....But what about all of the little, very important things that women learn over the years Things that only life experience can teach but which you hope your daughter will know. When Joan Jakobson's daughter became engaged, Joan started a journal of everything she wanted to pass on to her daughter. Expanded for a more general audience, AND ONE MORE THING... is the book every woman will want her daughter to have. Filled with incredibly useful advice, this fun book is a must-have gift for mothers to give to their daughters. It includes things like what to do when you're seated next to a boring dinner companion at a dinner party (as you inevitably will be at some point), what's the difference between Jewish and Waspy men, is it ok to date a married man (yes, it is), what to pack when traveling, why you should never neglect your female friends for a boyfriend, can you send a thank you note on email, and so much more. Daughters starting out on their own might be leaving their mothers behind, but armed with AND ONE MORE THING..., their mother's wisdom will always be with them.
