Here are some ideas.
RC Sproul's Essential Truths of the Christian Faith is a great summary of many key ideas.
His The Holiness of God is a classic that packs quite the punch.
Also by Sproul, The Crucial Question booklet series is a great series of shorter booklets that explore a few important topics in a bit more depth without being overwhelming.
Sproul's What is Reformed Theology? is a decent overview that is pretty approachable.
Beeke's Living for God's Glory is a decent introduction that I think can be helpful in that it starts to unpack some of the broader implications.
Looking at creeds and confessions is also solid. Here are decent ones for the Westminster Confession of Faith (and this one too) and Westminster Shorter Catechism and the Heidelberg Catechism.
In case you want to watch instead, Ligonier Ministries will post 1 free video from their teaching series every day.
As for listening, there is Renewing Your Mind
Firstly, if she's an adult then she has the responsibility of attending a faithful church regardless of her family's opinion. Following God is more important than following man, so I would encourage her to be committed to following God over worrying about doing what her family is happy with.
Reforming her Christianity depends on what theological differences she has, really. Is there anything in particular that stands out as a theological difference? For example, some people make a really big deal about their works being unimportant and thus a holy life being unimportant, so you could start with understanding the law and gospel. Others have an overemphasis on eschatology such that it consumes their thought, or the continuance of revelatory gifts, so you might want to start with those. Maybe a Reformed understanding of worship if that's a hang-up for her joining a confessional church.
Maybe just work through the Heidelberg Catechism with her, or use something like G.I. Williamson's study book on the Westminster Shorter Catechism (https://www.amazon.com/Westminster-Shorter-Catechism-Study-Classes/dp/0875525210).
G. I. Williamson also has a great study guide for the Westminster Shorter Catechism. We used it in our high school Sunday school class, so it's definitely not too challenging. And it has illustrations!
(Edit: typo)
I hope others chime in on this thread, but since you are currently studying theology, might I recommend a few books.
