Girls and young women today face more threats than ever before. Our post-modern, hyper-sexualized society has become increasingly complex, corrupt, and confusing—urging girls to become self-sufficient while eroding their intrinsic worth at every turn—and its snares all too often trap those who lack a solid foundation.
Despite a multitude of laws, policies, and programs ostensibly designed to protect them, historically high numbers of girls suffer from anxiety, sexually transmitted diseases, eating disorders, bullying, harassment, drug abuse, alcoholism, dating violence, and untold other stressors that often catch their parents unaware.
Elayne Bennett enters the fray with a voice of hard-won wisdom to proclaim: We can, we must, do better by our daughters. Through an engaging narrative peppered with ancient wisdom and common-sense observations, Bennett first awakens, then emboldens, and finally inspires to action not only parents, but all of us who care about reversing the destructive course that has far too many of our daughters.
