Win 1 of 20 copies of Because I Love You

294 Entries

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.

Please note this competition is open from 26th October until 25th November and is only available to members of Mouths Of Mums. We are unable to accept entries posted via facebook. The winners of this competition will be published on this page. Winners’ name and address will be provided to the promoter of this competition and prizes will be sent to the address you have in Your Profile.  Please ensure your details are up to date so that you receive your prize.
