IF you have a teenage daughter...JUST GET THIS BOOK

My husband brought this home for me and I tossed it on the book shelf for two years. I opened it last week and read and read and cried and laughed and when I put it down, I went to the computer and bought six copies, and will buy more to give to everyone I know with a teenage daughter. Read the story on page 199. it will KILL you! Amazing. And the one on page 36. I LOVE these women. Thanks Andrea. Sandy E.

My wife loves it!

I bought this book and the one called "It's a Boy", for my wife as X-mas gifts. She loves them both. I don't think she has finished them yet. But she said that I should read them.

Thoughtful moms

I found these essays deeply engaging and thought-provoking. In the course of reading the book, I realized how much more conflicted I am about my parenting decisions regarding my daughter than my son, how much more worried I am that she might not be a self-confident adult. The authors offer no answers, but their insights were meaningful to me, and I've recommended the book to at least a half-dozen friends of mine.
