Presley, 2009 All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I applied to Loyola’s School of Social Work to learn how to research, write, and share my ideas by publishing them. The faculty of the School has allowed me to fulfill my intentions and still encourages me. There are too many to thank individually, but Dr. Marcia Spira has always helped me with issues about mothers and daughters. She became member of my committee. Dr James Marley has guided my early efforts at research and also became a committee member.
