This book gave me permission to quit apologizing for who I am. God made me who I am on purpose. I am not too much; I am not too little. I have unconsciously been living for years feeling sorry for the people in my life because of my perceived sense of failing them. Now I can lift my head because the blanket of guilt I wasn't even aware of has been removed. It's ok to be feminine. It's ok to be vulnerable. It doesn't make you weak. I don't have to prove anything to anyone.I can raise my daughters to be empowered by their femininity. If you have little girls, this book is a must-read. I would also recommend it to anyone with aspirations for counseling or therapy. It tangibly illustrates and puts into words much of the why behind female responses and reasoning. Women are not irrational and controlled by emotion. We are designed by a loving creator as we are for a reason.
