Read What People Have to Say About Her Mother’s Diary

“I would refer clients to this book as a means to find connections with characters who are coping with life’s struggles. This book will enhance the imagination of teenagers to think about what they stand for, their influence on others, and what they can accomplish—even when they feel their lives are small.  Her Mother’s Diary protagonist Allison is a role model for teens and adults to keep going in the face of life’s struggles—a work that will inspire readers to face their challenges and find support from others.”

“As a mental health professional who currently works with a large population of teenage girls and boys in foster care placements, I am excited at the possibility of referring these youth to read read and gain inspiration from David Curry Kahn’s book.  Her Mother’s Diary has the potential to break through gender barriers.  This story will appeal to both teenage girls and boys—it possesses suspense, action, and the always appealing love story.  Even more exciting is that the main character, Allison Etcheverry, can help channel a message to any youth whom have endured hardship.  It is the idea that when life presents one with hardship there is always hope for perseverance through kindness, determination, and even a little curiosity.

“Her Mother’s Diary has the potential to reach not just bestseller status, but influential status among teenage girls and boys.  A work of literary brilliance!  Mr.  Curry Kahn’s book possesses the potential to capture young minds while offering a powerful message: personal perseverance is indeed possible.”
