"In his straight-talking style, Hill helps his young sister build self- confidence, self-reliance, self- respect, and encourages her on her journeys towards becoming a strong and successful woman." - Concrete Loop
In his follow up to his ALA award-winning self-help Letters to a Young Brother, actor and author Harper directs his newest book at young women. Each chapter is a letter beginning with an uplifting quote and post-scripted with a question posed via email and answered by a famous, successful woman like Nikki Giovanni, Michelle Obama, Ruby Dee and Eve. Writing in a conversational style, Harper focuses on a variety of different issues loosely grouped into topics like blues, love, family relationships, saving money and life (though not overly religious, Harper isn't shy with his beliefs). Chapters are short and focused. His gracious, uplifting text is suitable for any young woman looking for perspective; his advice is fresh, genuine and accessible.
A must read for teen girls.
