Highly recommend!By LexiNancy Dow; mother of Jennifer Aniston; captures her struggles in life including her estrangement by her daughter. She did a wonderful job.This book reveals Nancy Dow as a human being; not just a mom (to a celebrity). We start out reading how one day she finds herself estranged by her daughter though some terrible mistake; and then Nancy goes on into the many stories and experiences in her life that lead up to that day as well as the aftermath and pain. It was so sad; but I appreciate her honestly and openness to explain her life experiences.I would recommend this book to any parent with children of any age.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. InterestingBy CustomerI felt bad for the lady; but I understand the need to break away from a controlling mother. Complete detachment is the only way to live independently in some cases. It is evident that the mother was self-centered and lacked the ability to see others perspectives. She was an excellent writer; and her intelligence is evident. She raised a wonderfully talented daughter; so she could not have been all bad. Its amazing that Aniston could be so forgiving of her father who left the family for another woman; but she could not forgive her mother for giving an interview to a tabloid tv show. I guess she had her reasons. No judgement here.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. INTERESTING READBy CustomerIt was interesting to learn about Jennifer Anistons background. It was quite upsetting; though; to learn the reason for the very serious rift between her and her mother. All about one interview? You kind of wonder how that could be.
