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

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.
