FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TEENAGE DAUGHTERS
Posted February 16, 2008 by Rickilynn

Do you have a book that you read as a young child that stands out in mind throughout your life? One that captured your heart and imagination?
I recommend to all those who have teenage daughters a book that will bring much joy to them.
"Are you there God? It's Me, Margaret?" written by Judith Blume.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. is a 1970 book by Judy Blume, typically categorized as a novel for young adults, about a preteen girl in sixth grade who grew up with no religion. Margaret has one Christian and one Jewish parent, and the novel explores her quest for a single religion. Margaret also confronts many other pre-teen issues, such as buying her first bra, having her first period (and coping with belted sanitary napkins), jealousy towards another girl who has developed a womanly figure earlier than other girls, liking boys, and whether to voice her opinion if it differs from what her girlfriends seem to believe.
