I don't have daughters, so it was a fluke that I ever read this book in the first place, but I'm so glad I did. It was like a light being turned on in a room that had always been dark. My own torturous adolescence made sense, and I saw my 5 nieces in a whole new light. I wish I knew (and my parents knew) when I was a young woman the wealth of information in this book.

Today I'm a middle school teacher, and one thing I hear from parents over and over again is that their daughters are strangers to them. I keep telling them to read the "menarche" book. I wish I could provide it to all the moms and dads of my female students. I finally decided today to print the info page from Amazon so I could have it in my classroom for reference (and so I could stop calling it by the wrong title!). I plan on giving a copy to every parent, friend, and family member with girls.

I have boys, so I can't wait for Ms. Meisenbach Boylan's "boy" book.

I don't recommend this book if you are a serious spiritual seeker. It was a full disappointment for me. I wanted to know about serious spiritual initiations and aids to help my teen. This is just intellectual crap.
