This book gave me new ways to think about old battles. But I'm also glad that I gave my daughters a book for THEM (not just me) that the author suggested. The book is GIRLTALK: All the Stuff Your Sister Never Told You and I could tell they really liked it because I kept finding it all over the house! Pipher is quoted on the cover saying "I gave my daughter Girltalk when she was a teen. Carol Weston's writing is solid, sensible, and kind. I recommend this book." Hey, I recommend both books!
