Allen & Unwin want to give you the chance to win 1 of 20 copies of Because I Love You by Barbara Toner.

What daughter doesn’t need advice? What mother can’t give it? Whether she’s 18 or 81 a daughter can always benefit from a second opinion on the condition of her soul, her heart, her head, her hair, her cleavage.

No second opinion will be more valuable than her mother’s because it will be offered with love tempered by wisdom and in the certain knowledge that, without it this daughter will end her days on the streets, in the gutter, with spoilt children, gum disease and bosom droop.

Ignoring the universal truth that advice should only be offered if sought, here is one mother’s funny, witty, wise guide to dealing with life’s eternal dilemmas.

For your chance to win a copy, use the comment form below and tell us the most valuble piece of advice you have recieved.

  • Life goes by too quickly get to know your kids inside out and let them have some fun


  • They grow up too fast. Enjoy it whilst you can, work can always come later. This was from my father as he held my daughter for the very first time. Brought tears to my eyes. He was truly speaking from the heart, which I have never experienced with him before. Our relationship changes so much from that day forward just with those simple, effective words


  • What a beautiful way to show my daughters how much I love them. Words are wonderful and beautiful, but they also need to see things and actions are very important!
