Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was always steeling myself for things like sleepovers and school trips where you went overnight to nature camp, because I dreaded being away from home. But I never wavered, even when I knew my behavior had been registered as rude or strange.

#2 I was ten when I got my first period. I was sitting on a beanbag in the reading corner at school, and I was wearing madras Bermuda shorts. I knew that I would be the first girl in my generation to get her period.

#3 I was a shy person, but I was also one of the shy people who wanted to be seen. I was a blond, bossy older sister who sang solos and won blue ribbons. But as I grew up, I became more and more awkward.

#4 I was no longer the person I’d been my whole life. I was growing up, and I didn’t like my new body. I was not attractive, and I was not blossom-ing; I was coarsening.
