About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"When I gave birth to my daughter, Jordanna, I never knew what a special relationship a mother and daughter could have. As my daughter got older and started to understand more about being a female, I felt as if I were once again going through many of the stages of growing up. I felt a very strong urge to protect Jordanna from anything that could possibly hurt her, but I knew that if I did this, it would hurt her later on because she would not be prepared to face the real world. So instead, I tried to show her and explain to her what I consider to be the important things in life. Our mother-daughter relationship is comprised of a very deep understanding of and support for each other, and it is based on an enormous amount of emotion and love. There is no other relationship in the world where two women are so much like one. Susan Polis SchutzIntroduction to original edition (1985) When I originally wrote this book, my daughter was just a little girl. Now all of a sudden she has grown into a beautiful young woman who is about to leave home for college. The emotions surrounding this passage of time with Jordanna have led me to write new poems, which are included in this special updated edition of TO MY DAUGHTER WITH LOVE. It chronicles my philosophy, my worries, my love and my deepest feelings toward Jordanna, from when she was an infant through her high-school years. Next year, when Jordanna is away from home, this book will remind her that it doesn't matter where she is, because home is where love and the heart reside. Susan Polis Schutz (1997)"

About the Author:

SUSAN POLIS SCHUTZ grew up in the small country town of Peekskill, New York. In 1969, she and her husband, acclaimed artist Dr. Stephen Schutz, moved to Colorado, where their intense love for each other and their desire to be together at all times prompted them to begin silk-screening posters of Susan’s poetry and Stephen’s artwork. From this union of their talents and love, SPS Studios was born. Today, Susan is the author of eleven bestselling poetry books, and her poems have been published on millions of greeting cards. Whether she is writing about her feelings on motherhood, her love for Stephen, her fondness for nature, or her thoughts on life, her heartfelt words are the ones people look to for help in understanding and expressing their own emotions.
