I am Executive Director of Sisterhood Infinity, a mentoring program for young women in Brooklyn, NY. We, the mentors and mentees read "Am I the Last Virgin" to prepare for a seminar on Human Sexuality. In discussion, we found the stories to be wonderful tales of young womanhood that touch on several experiences that are pertinent to issues of past and present. This book of insightful and honest essays is a great introduction for teenagers considering taking that serious step into womanhood. Furthermore, it is a great conversation piece that could bridge the gap between older and younger generations in conversations around womanhood and sex. I would highly recommend this book to anyone of any age.

Heartwrenching and tragic tales that reveal the innermost feelings of young woment struggling to growup among very different lifestyles and situations. A must reading for young women on the threshhold of maturity to help them see that even the most tragic of events happen and can be overcome. One story also serves as a warning that the heart is not always the wisest when choosing a mate. You must listen to your head also. My tears just flowed feeling the pain that some of these women were revealing in their story telling which was so honest and forthright.

Am I The Last Virgin? is a collection of frank and honest short stories about african-american female sexuality. I cried...I laughed...I could relate... The book is a courageous dialogue about a very important aspect of life and living. A must read for young girls, their mothers, their fathers, their brothers, their sisters, their friends. I have passed copies along to many of my family members.
