Description:
This book is most appropriate for girls aged 12 to 17. Written by a mother-daughter team, this book offers a multi-generational perspective with advice that often differs from mother to daughter. It includes information about puberty, relationships and dating, parents, drugs, eating disorders, mental health, friendship, sexuality, birth control and abortion, divorce, work, cliques, self-esteem, school, and more. One caveat: there is a HEAVY heterosexual bias. While this book is written with a "girl power" attitude, it spends a LOT of time talking about boys and how to relate to them, handle dating dilemmas, etc. There are only two pages that deal with the possibility of being gay, and they don't deal very well.
271 pages. Authors: Marlin S. Potash and Laura Potash Fruitman with Lisa Sussman. 2001.
