{"product_id":"altered-loves","title":"Altered Loves","description":"Are mothers jealous of their developing daughters? Is an early mother-child bond severed during adolescence and never formed again? What does adolescence feel like to a girl?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on detailed interviews with mothers and daughters from Terri Apter's research in Great Britain and America, and from recent psychological studies of family interaction, Altered Loves is a frank, moving, and insightful examination of this crucial time in a woman's life. Apter shows that contrary to the classical view of adolescence as a stage in which daughters reject their mothers, adolescent daughters often remain strongly attached to them. The strife that characterizes this period is actually the result of trying to renegotiate a valued relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully written, Altered Loves explodes conventional myths and theories about mother-daughter relationships and offers new and valuable insights that will help mothers remember and daughters understand the delicate, painful, and complex process of becoming a woman.","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67798399320301,"sku":"9780449906316","price":15.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/0797\/6685\/files\/9780449906316.jpg?v=1792165034","url":"https:\/\/qepbooks.com\/products\/altered-loves","provider":"QEP Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
