- "Ann Landers" was a pen name created in 1943 by advice columnist Ruth Crowley of the Chicago Sun-Times. It was taken over by Eppie Lederer in 1955 and she produced the Ask Ann Landers syndicated column for about 50 years. The column continues to be a regular feature in many national and local newspapers in North America and the name "Ann Landers" has entered the cultural lexicon.
Eppie Lederer's twin sister Pauline Philips wrote the "Dear Abby" advice column under the pseudonym Abigail Van Buren. - Nationality

I loved this book! It has a little advice about almost anything you want to know. It contains the best of Ann Landers from her column throughout the years. Great for reading a few pages in the morning or before bed! Just an entertaining book overall.
At times it is slow and some details included don't make sense and seem unimportant. Good story showing the relationship between a mother and a daughter, it provides insight into the connection. Never was a page turner though. Seemed to always just be filler. Nothing substantion or worthwhile.
