If I Had a Daughter Pearls of Wisdom for Young Women
The Story Behind the Book
Zoe-Ann Bartlett doesn't have a daughter, but if she did, she would teach her the importance of moisturizing her neck. And that's just the beginning. In this beautifully illustrated, full-gift book, Bartlett—a successful entrepreneur and lifelong learner—shares dozens of the gems of wisdom she's collected. Some are humorous, and many are profound. Each has been carefully chosen to help the next generation of dynamic, confident women live well.
With thoughts on everything from love to dying, beauty to caring for pets, this is a book that readers will return to time after time. Lined pages allow plenty of space for readers to record their own lessons learned, and encourage the passage of the book from woman to woman.
If I Had a Daughter is the perfect gift for daughters, nieces, or young friends who are graduating from a season of life, leaving the nest, or would benefit from coming-of-age common wisdom.

I recommend reading this book (and often) and sharing it with other women in your life. Zoe-Ann, thank you for sharing your wisdom, and I’ll always remember to moisturize my neck ;)"
