On My Own: The Ultimate How-To Guide for Young Adults [With CD-ROM]

On My Own: The Ultimate How-To Guide For Young Adults by Sally Taylor is such a comprehensive youth reference on "how to make it in the world." I wish such a book had existed when I launched out on my own. With the challenges facing today's young adults, the book and CD reference can make a real difference in the lives of its readers. Parents would do well by leaving this one on the coffee table!

Sally Taylor has captured the life lessons all parents wish to impart to their children and wraps it all up in a creatively delivered message. A complete guide that is amazingly insightful and easy to use. The CD ROM makes this guide an informative and entertaining tool for all learning types. When I first sat down at my computer to review the book, 4 hours magically disappeared as I found myself carried away by Sally's version of the Information Highway. A must read for all young adults--and many of their parents, too!
