About the Book

Growing and coming of age in the 21st century can be a troublesome time for many young women. There are a myriad of obstacles to get over such as peer pressure, fitting in with the crowd and often moving schools and having to make new friends. There is the ability and temptation to drink alcohol and drive a car. These all come at the time of girls life when she is awakening to a new chapter in her life, that of becoming a woman. Every culture deals with a woman's coming of age in their own way. In the west generally it is seen that when a girl reaches the age of between 16 and 21 they have come of age. Dependent on religious practices and beliefs the family will celebrate with the individual, sometimes with a religious ceremony and a friends and family gathering. With so much going on in our busy lives these days it is often the case that these coming of age events are overlooked and eclipsed by one of the many other events that happen at this important age. One really great way for a young woman to find the solace she really needs is other women's stories. Coming of age stories are full of inspiring and thought provoking moments, stories that a young woman can really relate to.
