She plays games with men that always involve sexual favors...she judges the value of potential boyfriends based on their sexual prowess...she even picks up complete strangers in train stations and lures them home to have her way with them...

But, consider:

Her father had eighteen children...her entire family has a history of being oversexed...she struggled with deep-rooted insecurities as a child...

When all these factors - and more - are taken into account, one may gain a better understanding of exactly what goes into the makings of sexual predator, and Becoming A Woman does just that.

Patricia Ange's cautionary tale of a life lived with reckless sexual abandon is a jarring account of some of the deepest, darkest secrets regarding sex that many are uncomfortable discussing. Nonetheless, she lays out in great detail her step-by-step descent into the throes of promiscuity, highlighting many of the risqué behaviors from which many don't escape. In so doing, she provides the reader with incredible insight into the world of sex obsession, offering invaluable advice along the way regarding just how to avoid yielding to its grip.

Make no mistake, Ange pulls no punches in her graphic descriptions of the lewd and lascivious acts in which she engaged with former lovers; however, her depictions are not meant to serve as sensationalized erotica, but rather shed light on just how powerful the act of sexual pleasure is, as well as how difficult it is for the sex-obsessed to resist.

Peppered throughout her narrative are helpful "Woman To Woman" bulletins, lessons learned along her journey to sexual maturity that serve to advise readers in order to help prevent them from making the same mistakes she did. These include everything from tips on effective birth control to making your first time special to the folly of using sex as a balm in mending a broken heart. As more of Ange's insights are revealed throughout the book, one develops a profound appreciation for her selflessness in exposing her own vulnerability as a means of protecting that of others.

If Becoming A Woman doesn't soon become required reading in churches, youth organizations, and mentoring programs across the country, someone should start a petition...this book is unmatched in its ability to take the everyday experiences so common to us all and dissect them masterfully to discover the nuggets of truth contained within. Patricia Ange has created a timeless classic deserving of the utmost respect and consideration by generation after generation of women for years to come.
