Why read it

  • You will see why lively girls often go quiet as they enter their teens, and what they lose
  • You will understand why a teenager pulling away from her parents is a normal stage, not a rejection
  • You will learn to recognise warning signs in a teenager, from lost confidence to eating troubles

Who it is for

  • Parents of girls approaching their teens
  • Teachers and counsellors who work with adolescents
  • Women who remember losing something of themselves at that age
