What others are saying….

“As media and commercial culture is putting increasing pressure on girls to conform to standards that can be very harmful to themselves and their relationships with others, Secrets Girls Keep gives teen-age girls down-to-earth, practical, heartfelt advice that will empower them to resist the pressure and take care of themselves and others in these hard to grow up times. Parents will thank Carrie Silver-Stock for giving them this book to give to and discuss with their daughters.”

Diane Levin, Ph.D.,

Professor of Education, Wheelock College,

Author of So Sexy So Soon

“The key to happiness is getting real and finding a way to be okay with who we are…our authentic selves. How great would it be to learn how to tap into this honest and open place as a teenager? When girls follow Carrie’s guidelines for shedding their secrets and taking charge of their lives, the world has no choice but to be a better place!”

Deborah Reber,

Teen advocate, speaker, and author

“Secrets Girls Keep is compelling in its honesty, openness, and just plain good sense. Written for teenage girls, who face pressures that are almost impossible to imagine, it models getting beneath the silence and shame that all too often accompany life problems (e.g., loss, sex, abuse, eating problems, mood disorder) and actively engages them in self-exploration and disclosure. A vitally important book.”

Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, UC Berkeley;
