This book is for all mothers who want to courageously, clearly, and confidently help their daughters through the inevitable emotional turmoil of growing up female, including serious challenges and problems, such as depression, self-mutilation, and/or thoughts of suicide. Additional readers include youth leaders, counselors, and pastors.
Everyone knows someone with addiction, and this book tackles both the talked-about, dramatic addictions (alcohol and drugs, sex, and gambling) as well as the quieter, less visible ones (workaholism, relationships, shopping and spending, food); in fact, the author builds the case that everyone's addicted to something--so this is a book for addicts and those who love them. It investigates how addiction keeps people from being balanced and fulfilled, and how addcitions can be overcome.
