Eddie and Makhyli had a perfect relationship; they did everything together. Many people admired their connection and felt inspired by their closeness. They were not only mother and daughter, but artist and manager that worked effortlessly together to get Makhyli’s career off the ground. Then Makhyli turned 13 years old and everything seemed to change in the blink of an eye.

Mothers and daughters of all circumstances and backgrounds may find themselves struggling with issues they are not prepared to handle in a positive way during the pre-teen and teen years.
