You can be restored even when your relationship is frayed
Ever wonder why mothers and daughters can be so different and even seem to speak different languages?
Mended gives you conversation starters to speak life into your relationship with your mother or daughter. Discover powerful words that usher in healing for wounded hearts and rebuild, restore, and reconcile your connection.
Set new patterns going forward as you…
- find common ground and put your relationship ahead of your differences
- learn what to say when you don’t know what to say
- grow closer when you do hard things together
If you have a difficult history with your mother or daughter, you don’t have to continue patterns of brokenness. No matter how worn you feel, you don’t have to become unthreaded. God wants to mend your heart to His and to hers.
“Mended will show you how to create an incredible, God-honoring legacy for your family. This is an amazing resource for anyone who desires to deepen their mother-daughter relationship in a biblical, healthy, and healed way.”

Whether you struggle with past hurts or present disappointments, Helen and Blythe make it clear that, ‘No one and no relationship is beyond hope.’ Each suggestion is supported with Scripture and wrapped in real-life examples drawn from two different generations. So helpful, so hope-filled, so healing!”

“Mothers and daughters make such interesting duos! Helen McIntosh and Blythe Daniel are no exception. They have bared their souls and brightened our relational paths with their cowriting of this soul-searching, life-instructing book. They walked through fire as they wrote, and the results have emerged as pure gold. If you have a mother, daughter, daughter-in-law or, really, any woman you care about, this book is for you!”
—Jan Silvious, friend and author of Courage for the Unknown Season and Fool-Proofing Your Life
“What a precious opportunity to write a book with your momma! Maybe you don’t think so because the relationship with your mother is more toxic than tender. Blythe and Helen weave godly practical suggestions to move the relationship with your mother or daughter from harmful to healed. In a beautiful conversation, the duo teaches the reader how to sow seeds of peace rather than discord by pointing her to the Author of reconciliation, Jesus.”
—Wendy Pope, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and author of Wait and See and Yes, No, and Maybe
“The mother/daughter relationship is a beautiful gift and yet a complicated one. It can be both a place where we are most comfortable and vulnerable and yet, at times, feel as though we are walking a tightrope to maintain it. Blythe and Helen, in the practical guide of Mended, give us the tools we need to navigate nurturing and restoring this most important relationship. It will be a resource I refer again and again.”
—Lynn Cowell, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and author of Make Your Move
