“I hope there’s no such thing as reincarnation because I wouldn’t want to come back and have to be a teenager all over again.” – Esther Kane
Being a teenager isn’t easy. It probably never has been, but with the proliferation of mixed messages in our society, it’s becoming more difficult for young people to build a real sense of themselves without the inundation of companies trying to define them with the latest products.
Esther Kane, MSW, RCC, has collected a delightful set of stories in her book, “What Your Mama Can’t or Won’t Teach You: Grown Women’s Stories of Their Teen Years.” The voices of 20 women are interweaved with each other to create a conversation-like book of women talking about their early struggles.
The issues discussed are diverse and cover so many things that affected the way they grew into adults. Their insight back into what shaped them the most is sometimes funny, other times heartbreaking and often poignant.
Esther interviewed these women on topics that she asked her teen clients they would most like to read about. What amassed is wisdom from a generation of women who survived and are willing to share their experiences to the youth of today.
