I have to share this – I meant to post about this back when you posted this entry – the part you bolded – SPOT ON! With the whole "childrens artwork program debacle of September 2009", my bishop said he was so happy that I was able to speak my mind and be direct, because too many people are just nice and nod and walk away muttering and saying what they really feel in other circles. He appreciated that 'real' part of me and that I was willing to speak my mind and feelings about it. Funny how that attribute causes trouble for me and is seen as a positive. I think I'm going to read this book. It is also good to have around with me teaching high school in a school with various religions and ethnicity.

Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful review. I have pre-teen daughters and it's important to me that they learn to express themselves in a healthy way. Sounds like a great book. Thanks for being a part of the tour!

Great review; I'm so curious now! I think I'd definitely fall under the Good Girl umbrella. 🙂

I have a hard time expressing my feelings. I do not want my daughters to follow that example. Although it may be polite, it is not always healthy. I have to check this book out.

That book sounds wonderful! I am going to have to add it to my list of books I am going to read for my children. Also Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls is another book. I haven't read it yet, but my mother and sister both have, they rave about how great it is, especially in helping girls not want to grow up too soon.

Just saying if you have time.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I love making friends!

'Good Girls are…' Yeah, that is me all over. Or at least it was at one point, and I still have strong tendency's to do that. I've learned how to ask for what I need and am improving on talking when it matters. Criticism and opinions are still big weaknesses for me. But I'm improving. Jeff has helped a lot.
