From the foreward:
"This little book is born of a desire to help and encourage our girls who are struggling with the problems that come up in teens. Youth has it problems, its heartaches, and disappointments. It is not always a smooth path to the perfection of womanhood. If what I have written should help some girl to a nobler life and truer ideals, then I shall feel that it has accomplished the task I have set for it to do.
