Navigating through teen years can be well...complicated. There will be up and down days as well as in between days. There are a few areas that can be challenging for all girls; self esteem, finding your passion and direction, communication with your parents, guarding your mind, and of course - boys!

Using embarrassing personal stories and biblical references, Pearls for Girls, introduces practical tips and common sense approaches both you and your parents can use to help everyone make it through this stage!

Excerpt:

Let me set the stage for you. My mother was very strict and I was rarely allowed to go anywhere. One of my friends from school invited me to a party. To my surprise my mother actually gave me permission to go. I should have been suspicious about this, but I was so excited I didn't think about it! While I was dancing with the cutest boy, my friend whispered in my ear my mom was outside! After almost blacking out with embarrassment I went outside, and not only was it my mom but it was my cousin's mother and a family friend out there just chatting away with my friends. If there was a bridge nearby I could have jumped off I would have--this gives you an idea of how mortified I was. When I asked my mom and her "crew" why they were there, she replied, "We went for a walk and decided to come pick you both up." Now, teens reading this completely get it. They understand the embarrassment of having your mother pick you up from a party where everyone who is anyone is attending. On the other hand, mothers recognize the logic in this. If you are able to pick up your daughter from a party to make sure she gets home safely, then it is a great idea. Right? Wrong!
