Rose finally has a place where she fits in - but she has to travel through time to get there!It looked like an ordinary root cellar, the kind of place where you'd store canned goods and winter vegetables. If twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, she probably never would have fled down the stairs to the dark cellar. And if she hadn't, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of the Civil War. There she makes her first friends - and they desperately need her help!

It looked like an ordinary root cellar And if twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, where she'd been sent to live with unknown relatives, she probably would never have fled down the stairs to the root cellar in the first place. And if she hadn't, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of Civil War "

Adolescence doesn’t have to be a time when mothers and daughters grow apart. Adolescence doesn’t have to be a continual series of screaming matches and pouting. Adolescence should be a time when mothers and daughters connect and grow together. How would it be different if mothers looked forward to their daughters’ first steps into womanhood with the same anticipation and excitement as they had for her very first steps toward walking? What if there was a whole community of women waiting to receive her into womanhood? What if there was a way for mothers and daughters to walk together? Moon Mother, Moon Daughter is a practical and concrete guide rooted in lunar cycles and mythology. Each of the 12 chapters uses a goddess/lunar myth as its basis. The myth is followed by an exploration of the key coming of age concepts found within the myth, activities and suggestions for mothers and daughters, and a list of further reading and resources.
