What would you like to tell your daughter? What do you wish you could tell – or have told – your mother before it's too late?

What do your friendships mean to you? Is there a particular friend who's brought you back from the brink?

Welcome to a site that's dedicated to relationships; between mother and daughter, between sisters, between friends. Sometimes these relationships are fuelled by unconditional love on each side, sometimes they can be filled with pleasure or fraught with problems – we can have a confidante for life or we can find it impossible to tell our family and friends how we feel.

So, please use this site to say whatever you need. You might want to share advice on how to deal with relationships; you might want to offer up a personal insight; you might simply want to tell us how much you love your mother or daughter or friend; and you might want to share words of wisdom for future generations of women.

Please, share your thoughts and take a moment to click on the film clip below to meet Elizabeth Noble, author of the novel that inspired thousands of women to blog here.

    How this book has helped me heal

    This past summer I picked this book up at the bookstore. I really didn't know what it was about just saw it and thought it might be a good read. I was spending many hours at the hospital with my Mom and took it with me to pass the time. I was only able to start the first few pages before my mom who was diagnosed with cancer almost 8 years ago, said goodbye. We let her spirit free in a country cemetery on one of the hottest days of the year. After my Mom's passing I set the book down and didn't feel like reading. A few months later I started reading it again and was touched by so many of the parallels between my Mom's life and that of Barbra's. I cried a lot as I read this book taking the time to honor my Mom and her legacy that she left. It made me realize how important my Mother really was and how even though she is gone I can still continue. I want to thank Elizabeth for this novel as it was a small part of my healing. To my Mom and everything she has done for me and for so many other people in her life.
    Thank you Elizabeth you are a wonderful writer and an inspiration.
