“It’s like having a mentor guide you through the struggles of your teen years.” -Teenager
“A deeply personal, yet intriguing look into the author’s experiences as a teenager set the tone for clear understanding of the teacher/student relationship. As an educator, I can relate to the heartbreak of disclosure about trauma beyond a young person’s control. Shira paints vivid pictures of real issues facing American teens and offers insight into practical steps that can be taken to enjoy rather than despise the teenage experience. – Bonnie Ford, Educator
