Synopsis

This is a fun look at girls of all ages and what helps them find their own self worth. Covering topics from body image and true friends to the challenges of being a single mother and finding a purpose once you have raised your children, this book teaches that beauty and confidence come from within.

I related well to Today, I Live and am looking forward to reading it with my 12 year old daughter. I don’t think she will find the parts devoted to adult women and their challenges terribly interesting, but we can just skip those few pages. The author does point out, however, that the issues that young girls face are not any different from those of adult women. I’m not sure if my daughter would find that comforting or discouraging, realizing that the issues she deals with today are not likely to go away any time soon.
