Darlene Aiken wrote this book from the heart of a girl who was bullied and who became a bully. As a result of having experienced both sides, the one common denominator was low self-esteem. Once she began to build her confidence and experience the difference, she never felt the need to either allow anyone to bully her, nor did she see the purpose in being bullied. However, she feels it is incumbent upon her to share the successful tools that continue to work for her. In addition to the aforementioned, this book also provides an opportunity for healthy dialogue between girls and their parents/caretakers. Some of the other areas that having a low self-esteem will manifest itself are: finances, hygiene, and fashion choices, all areas which are addressed in this book by highly acclaimed professionals and experts. This book is a must-have for all girls of every age, race, religion, economic status, etc. in today's society, our children have much more access to information, even more so than their parents, in many instances, so it is imperative that we stay on the cutting edge of what is going on so that we may save our daughters.
