A must for every teenage girl

This book contains information for any teenage girl who needs help wigh her self-esteem and confidence. Sister Jones shows her understanding and love for Young Women with this book and her amazing communication with them through their letters and replies to those letters she has received. It is a self-esteem "booster" for sure. I was satisfied completely after reading the book. I also recommend her previously published book as well.
