This review is from: Woman Spirit (Audio Cassette)

Woman Spirit: A Menarche Myth Teaching and Celebrating Young Women Coming of Age is beautifully read by the author. This is a story of two friends about to reach this momentous stage of their lives. Woman Spirit explains what is happening to their bodies, hearts and minds and includes traditions from Native American cultures that help the girls plan meaningful coming-of-age ceremonies for themselves. This story will have meaning for all family members, but most especially for mothers, daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters. It moved me deeply.
