Publisher Description

Graduating from high school is a big step for any girl. She is leaving her childhood behind and beginning the rest of her life. She is also leaving her mother's protective circle of love and guidance. One of the greatests gifts a mother can give her daughter at this pivotal moment in her life is good counsel. In And One More Thing Before You Go... Maria Shriver, bestselling author, acclaimed journallist, First Lady of California, and mother of two daughters, provides a loving and heartfelt guide for girls as they go off to college.

Expanded from a speech given to her young friend Ally's graduation class, Maria speaks as a wiser, more experienced girlfriend, but also as both the daughter of a mother whose advice she still seeks and as the mother of the daughters for whom she wishes a fulfilling and happy life. In this stirring and inspiring guide, Maria talks to young women about how to find abundance and emotional richness, and how not to overlook life's most special gifts. Her ten rules offer a firm grasp on what's really important in life.

Thoughtful, compassionate, and filled with love, And One More Thing Before You Go... will make every mother cry and every daughter stop and think about her mother's words.

"Thanks Sandy for the referral - Alesha and I just listened and we smiled at the truths that she described... Loved the challenge to "do one thing every day that scares you..." It's good to feel the emotions of trying, learning, failing, trying again... It keeps us growing that's for sure!"

    " Has some good advice for a graduating senior. But I wish she hadn't tailored it just to girls. Most of the advice could be for either boy or girl. I think I will have Connor listen to parts of it. It made me cry in places because I'm going to miss Connor so much next year. "
