And One More Thing Before You Go...
Award-winning journalist, First Lady of California, and bestselling author Maria Shriver offers young women a powerful book on how to put your greatest gifts and even your shortcomings to work for you as you begin the rest of your life.

Graduating from high school is a big step for any girl. She is leaving her childhood behind and beginning the rest of her life. She is also leaving her mother's protective circle of love and guidance. One of the greatest gifts a mother can give her daughter at this pivotal moment in her life is good counsel. In And One More Thing Before You Go...Maria Shriver, bestselling author, acclaimed journalist, First Lady of California, and mother of two daughters, provides a loving and heartfelt guide for girls as they go off to college.

Expanded from a speech given to her young friend Ally's graduating class, Maria writes as a wiser, more experienced girlfriend, but also as both the daughter of a mother whose advice she still seeks and as the mother of daughters for whom she wishes a fulfilling and happy life. In this stirring and inspiring guide, Maria talks to young women about how to find abundance and emotional richness, and how not to overlook life's most special gifts. Her ten rules-told in a witty and poignant anecdotal style-offer a firm grasp on what's really important in life.

And One More Thing Before You Go... is a book that transcends age groups, a book that will make you laugh, cry, and open your eyes to a new way of looking at life. Thoughtful, compassionate, and above all, filled with love, And One More Thing Before You Go... is a book that will make every mother cry and every daughter stop and think about her mother's words.

Editorial Reviews

DEC 07/JAN 08 - AudioFile

Maria Shriver, a TV news reporter and the wife of California’s Governor Schwarzenegger, offers a polished delivery of material she expanded from a luncheon speech she gave to graduating high school girls and their mothers in 2005. Her ideas and suggestions will remind listeners of yearbook-signing clichés of old, such as "Stay as sweet as you are," or in Shriver's words, "Keep a childlike quality." While this little audio might have made a nice gift for a young woman in 1950, the author seems to have missed the fact that we're well into the twenty-first century and today's young women would be better served by something more substantial than outdated maxims.
