A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of being interviewed on Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein’s radio program. In preparation for that interview, she sent me a copy of her new book, THE TRUTH (I’m a girl, I’m smart and know everything). The book is cleverly disguised as the diary of a young girl.
This format interested me because my wife and I have raised a son and a daughter. Picking up the book felt more like discovering my daughter’s diary and, even though you know you shouldn’t, you begin to read it. I found the book to be refreshing. Even though I primarily write action-adventures & mysteries for tween boys, 8 – 12, I found this book to be interesting.
From the perspective of a young girl, writing her diary, we learn about her feelings concerning important issues in life that matter to her. She talks about struggles with her parents, issues surrounding love, and gives her thoughts about growing up.
Because this is not a true diary, the book is useful to parents and girls who are interested in gaining a better understanding of themselves and each other.

Young girls can enjoy it as they look forward, and adults will enjoy it as they look back and remember.
