An excellent resource for young women and their parents. This book does not hold back and presents honest, clear information to girls/pre-teens who have a genuine curiosity about the changes in their developing bodies.

This book absolutely does not condone pre-marital sex. A direct quote from page 225-226, "We're not saying that you shouldn't follow your parents' or your religion's teachings or rules. In fact, we think parents and religions have excellent advice that's well worth following."

My now 18 year-old has thanked me more than once for making this book available to her. Sometimes there are things that are just too uncomfortable to ask your parents about. A young person should have access to resources that can inform them.
