She Deserves Better: Raising Girls to Resist Toxic Teachings on Sex, Self, and Speaking Up

I flipped through until something caught my eye and started bawling my eyes out within 2 minutes while walking out the door. 😭 My highlighter is wearing out. Read with tissues on hand. I don't have any daughters- this is all speaking to the unknown hurt from my past adolescence. Things HAVE to change for the next generation. The lessons we accepted without a second thought are just putrid! I wish I could get everyone to read it! I think it would change the world. This will challenge your worldview for sure! Be open to it. Hear the stories. Listen to the evidence. Challenge your thoughts.

After breaking my engagement with my college boyfriend, I concluded that I was doing something wrong, so I turned to the popular Christian relationship books of the late 90’s. All those books got me was an abusive marriage and a subsequent divorce. This pink book is a breath of fresh air. My first read through was so healing for younger me. I will be reading it again, only with my teenage daughter, so she has the healthy teachings that I didn’t have. If you grew up with the toxicity of purity culture, you need this book. If you have a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or other girl in your life, you need this book.
