What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is, “How to Deal with Schoolgirl Drama.” As a school social worker, I see this schoolgirl drama a lot and I experienced it myself as a young girl. I decided to write about it, to help you identify its props, scenes, and patterns. I wanted to offer suggestions that might help girls get through this season of your life with less pain and confusion. I believe that the pain that they are feeling is real, and here are some suggestions to help girls get through difficult time.
My goal is to teach you how to handle these issues.
Happy reading and let’s deal with schoolgirl drama!
