One Girls Journey: New Novel an Unflinching Look at What Faces Our Youth
Summary
In her engaging, street-smart prose style, Feggins shows how seemingly small decisions made as an adolescent directly affect one’s future and highlights the importance of thinking through each one.“I hope this book will serve as a tool for young women to empower themselves, and will inspire them to continue to strive for success regardless of how bad their current situations may seem,” Feggins says.Through it all, Feggins brilliantly captures the modern youth milieu, in all its complex relationships, anxieties and rites of passages – from how today’s young people ask each other to the prom, to what teens really do when their parents aren’t around.ISBN: 978-1-4327-0972-3 Format: 5 x 8 paperback Pages: 144 SRP: US$13.95/CAN$14.95 Genre: Drama/ General Author Contact: Visit her on the Web at www.outskirtspress.com/agirlmistreated ### Outskirts Press, Inc., 10940 S.
