Product Description
Having recently emerged from the tumultuous teenage years herself, Amanda Ford saw the need for a guide to help girls learn to listen to their inner voices and think for themselves. Inspired by such popular books as Simple Abundance and The Woman's Book of Courage, her book offers support to young women as they navigate one of the most confusing and challenging times of their lives. As anyone familiar with teenagers knows, there is nothing they hate more than being told what to do or how to think by "out of touch" adults. Here's the real scoop from one who knows the score. In 365 one-page essays, Ford offers stories, information, and advice on all the important issues facing young women today: boys, dating, drinking, self-esteem, fights with friends, dealing with parents, and more. Girls will find comfort, encouragement, and insight in these pages, along with suggestions for articulating and confiding their feelings, fears, and frustrations.

This is good book ruined by a terrible seller. If you wish to purchase this item, make sure you go through someone other than Bookling_is_reliable. I ordered books through them and they never showed up. After emails of them saying they would show up, it never happened. Don't throw money down the drain.
Easy to read good advices! December 27, 2009
Medusa (Troy, MI)
This book includes short and valuable message for young girls. The easy, flowing style and the short pointed messages attract the attention of our girls, who don't have the patience to read through long articles and complicated messages. I was harsh judging Ms. Ford's new book because I was comparing it to the book that she co-wrote with her mom: "between mother and daughter". However; given Amanda's young age, the content of her messages, and the likable style absolutely redeemed this work in my eyes.

I bought this book for a friend of mine daughter especially because she has special needs. What I love about this book is that it connects every issue they go through in such a simple but powerful way. A great way to keep your teens connected to the parents.

I would not have purchased this book had I known it was written by a 21-year-old. Having said that, I have two 14-year-old granddaughters who receive NO beneficial information on maturing, sexuality, dating, etc., from their parents. I left this book in their bedroom at my house, and they asked me, "Is that book for us?" I said yes, and they responded, "That's good, because we have been reading it." They seemed to like it, so it is a useful tool for stimulating discussion at the very least.
A book to be treasured forever August 8, 2008

Being a teenager in today's world is difficult, but with this book it makes our lives a bit more bearable. Teenage girls are bombarded with "perfect body" images all over the media, which creates a warped body image, and are pressured to have a boyfriend and receive good grades. Be True To Yourself has a worthy piece of advice for every day of the year. It includes party ideas, advice on school, parents, popularity, and boys, self-esteem boosters, perspective on life, and reassurance that everything will turn out right in the end. Amanda Ford's witty writing went straight to my heart, and at the final page of this book I felt like I knew her personally. This book's helpful hand helped me through many tough times, and I recommend for every teenage girl to read it also.
