Erm... well, it seems to me it would depend on which religion you are following. (you didn't say, but I'm going to assume it's Wicca :3 ) The only book advice I have is not to hand her a Ravenwolf book. I'll leave it at that.
What I would recomend you do is print out things you find that you feel explain your religion/beliefs accurately and in an easily understandable way to those who may know nothing of it. Relying on one author just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, especially with parents involved, ie... Suppose you disagree with something an author has written in the book, you're parents read it, find it offensive and think you (and everyone else) believe it too, even if you might not. Most times parents don't actually ask in these matters, they just assume and form an opinion that way. However if you have any books that you've read, liked, and agreed with, that would seem best to me if she's insistant about the information being in published book form.
I hope that helped. You made me realize that I'm not in the least prepared to explain to my mother that I'm no longer Christian, much less to explain to her what religion I follow and why whenever I actually figure that out xp
Hope it goes well, Dark :3

TeaDidikai Starlock It's also hard to go wrong with the Dummy/Idiot guides out there. Those are, I think, better starters for non-Pagans than Cunningham's work as they're written for that kind of audience in many respects. In general, though, one book isn't going to do a justice. It really won't. I've looked them over. They aren't what I would offer up to parents right off the bat due to some blinding flaws in history and the like.
yea i actually got one and every other sentance my mom said well it sounds like a cult and told me to find another one

He isn't Wiccan. He says he is- but that's another debate. He's also very liberal and an easy read.
