""As the keepers of tradition, women preserve the families of our daughters and granddaughters through the power of knowledge, understanding, skill, artistry, and love,"" says Joyce Marlow in Making Memories: Celebrating Mothers and Daughters Through Traditions, Crafts, and Lore. Martha Stewart meets The Artist's Way in this style guide for honoring special moments, holidays, achievements and the mother-daughter bond. Rife with keepsakes, hope chests, finger sandwich recipes, knitting and decorating advice (e.g., how to make ""the boudoir"" into ""a place where you can escape the worries of the day"") and rainy-day boxes, it provides fodder for mothers and daughters of all ages. Agent, Maureen Walters. ( June 1)
