In her diary, Anne Frank describes the coming of her period as a 'sweet
secret,'
a step toward womanhood she anticipates with wonder, joy, confusion and
fear.
Girls today often experience this time of their lives with the
same mixture of emotions.
"What's going on with my body?
What does menstruation feel like?
How will my
friends react?"
Focusing on their concerns about menstruation, and supplemented
by clearly articulated health information, this unique collection of
short stories will
reassure and enlighten young women.
Sweet
Secrets is ideal for initiating discussions between parents and
daughters about
sexuality and growing up.
Reader-friendly and supportive, Sweet Secrets dispels
long-held myths with current reasoned information that will empower
young women to
celebrate this rite of passage with informed confidence.
