Publisher's Synopsis
25% of all royalties from the sale of each book go to Girls Inc! A non profit organization dedicated to inspiring girls to be strong, smart and bold.
Ava is a beutifull little girl who, like all little girls, enjoys exercising her independence. Ava's mother supports her efforts but at the same time, hopes that imparting her family's secrets of being a lady will help Ava make better choices for herself. However, Ava has other things on her mind that prevent her from focusing on the true intentions of the family secrets. She tries her best to make her mother happy but instead, she succumbs to her youthful, silly ways--with exuberance. Ava's mother must then make decisions about what really matters--focusing on her long-term expectations for her daughter, or enjoying Ava's current disposition.
The characters and content in 10 Secrets of Being a Lady represent the essence of a mother/daughter symbiotic relationship in which the daughter strives to be her best self for her mother, and the mother strives to become her best self for her daughter. The story's focus on a timeless theme, such as manners and the social pressures of a mother defining womanhood to her daughter, allows the beauty of authenticity to surface. The desire to emphasize the pros and cons of one's physical attributes slowly fades away. The mother learns more about the responsibilities of growing into the kind of mother she intends to become. The daughter enjoys the quality time that will forever shape her expectations for herself, the manner in which she expresses love and her ability to receive love from others. In 10 Secrets of Being a Lady you will find a universal story of love and acceptance.
