The quotations in Mothers and Daughters tell a lifetime of laughter, trust and love. Helen Exley herself lived thousands of miles from her mother. She phoned her every day. "I knew everything in her life, and she was the same with me - she even knew what the weather was like here. She meant the world to me. That's why I love these quotes. They say everything we'd all like to say to someone who is so central, so vital to our life"
