ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jennifer Dana Lancaster

Before becoming a mom of 5, Jennifer Lancaster Dana was a typical, mistake-making kid who had a ton of fun along the way. She wears her pre-adult battle scars proudly — and is still recovering from the chaos of raising 5 teenagers. Now that her 3 youngest are living their best lives at university, she has had a few minutes to herself. The result? Not Your Mother’s Advice.
