How teen girls can learn to love themselves from the inside out
For Debra Beck, being a teenager was anything but pleasant. From anxiety about school, friends, peer pressure, not liking or even knowing who she was, to worrying about not fitting in, Becks teen years were fraught with feelings of confusion, frustration and self-doubt. It wasnt until her own daughters entered their teens did Beck realize that her experience wasnt the exception, but the norm: times may have changed, but teen girls everywhere her daughters included were grappling with those very issues she had faced. To provide a guide for teen girls, Beck created My Feet Arent Ugly: A Girls Guide to Loving Herself From the Inside Out.
Part road map, part mentor in a book, this bookmay well be the best friend a teen girl ever had. With expert guide Debra Beck leading the way, teen girls everywhere will learn how to make turn those formative years into transformative years. Beaufort Books $12.95.
