So, I want to buy a book for my mum when I come out so it can explains to her anything that she may not understand (She loves to read) Any suggestions for a good book, I have to be able to get it at a local book store. Even though im going to get very strange looks buying it, but oh well

Please any suggestions would be really greatly appreciated.

I've read a lot of those available, but after I read True Selves I ordered ten copies to give to my relatives and some friends.
