My Girl: Adventures with a teen in training
Here’s a radical concept: Most girls are happy. The woeful ones we always read about are a noisy minority, according to what Publisher’s Weekly calls a “charming memoir” about life with a pre-teen daughter. With warmth, humor, and sharp insight, My Girl debunks the prevailing assumption that a girl's adolescence is bound to be miserable.
“Exactly the book we need. . . . crackerjack timing, and not just for the funny stuff, but for that single sentence that pierces the heart in ways that are unexpected, poignant, ironic, and wise.”
– Peggy Orenstein, author of Schoolgirls
