Product Description
Having recently emerged from the tumultuous teenage years herself, Amanda Ford saw the need for a guide to help girls learn to listen to their inner voices and think for themselves. Inspired by such popular books as Simple Abundance and The Woman's Book of Courage, her book offers support to young women as they navigate one of the most confusing and challenging times of their lives. As anyone familiar with teenagers knows, there is nothing they hate more than being told what to do or how to think by "out of touch" adults. Here's the real scoop from one who knows the score. In 365 one-page essays, Ford offers stories, information, and advice on all the important issues facing young women today: boys, dating, drinking, self-esteem, fights with friends, dealing with parents, and more. Girls will find comfort, encouragement, and insight in these pages, along with suggestions for articulating and confiding their feelings, fears, and frustrations.

 A book to be treasured forever August 8, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Being a teenager in today's world is difficult, but with this book it makes our lives a bit more bearable. Teenage girls are bombarded with "perfect body" images all over the media, which creates a warped body image, and are pressured to have a boyfriend and receive good grades. Be True To Yourself has a worthy piece of advice for every day of the year. It includes party ideas, advice on school, parents, popularity, and boys, self-esteem boosters, perspective on life, and reassurance that everything will turn out right in the end. Amanda Ford's witty writing went straight to my heart, and at the final page of this book I felt like I knew her personally. This book's helpful hand helped me through many tough times, and I recommend for every teenage girl to read it also.

I purchased this book as a gift for a special teen in my life and she really loves the daily format. And the messages are empowering and very positive for her as she moves through this special time of her life!

THIS WAS A GIFT FOR MY GRAND-DAUGHTER WHO HAS JUST TURNED 13. WE LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY & OUR GIFT TO HER ON FRIDAY/DEC. 7TH WAS DINNER AT A GREAT RESTAURANT & THE PLAY "HARISPRAY" WHICH WAS JUST PHENOMONAL W/HER MOM, MY GRAND-DAUGHTER'S FRIEND FROM SCHOOL, & ME.
AT DINNER, I GAVE HER A PAIR OF GOLD LOOP EARRINGS & YOUR BOOK. SHE WAS AS TRHILLED FOR THE GOLD AS FOR THE BOOK. GOOD JOB.
THANKS,
A GRANDMA,

 Who would have thought you could find a guide to life? March 9, 2007

I love the day-by-day style this book is written in, and the simple, page-long answers help so much with the complicated questions a girl can have at this time in her life. I personally have made it a habit to read the day's advice on my way out the door to school, and it's really helped me to improve my outlook on life. It's also nice because it gives advice on some akward topics that a girl can be embarassed to discuss with her parents. The only downside is that some of the advice is pretty obvious, and simply common sense. Overall though, I highly recommend it to any confused teenage girl like myself. =)
Big hit with my daughter! February 23, 2006
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I bought this for my 13-year-old. Even though the reviews were very positive, I worried about how successful of a gift it would be as my daughter is a no-nonsense girl who does not like fluff or mushiness. But she loves it! She reads it faithfully every day, and it's been a great conversation starter as she tells me about the "lesson" of the day. For her, it's just the right mixture of straight-forward talk and sensitivity without being to childish.
