Synopsis

"What great messages to pass along! The world needs more books like this, and teenagers need more reminders like these..."

This inspiring book reaches out to teens in ways that few other books will ever do... and with words that few others will ever say. One of the endearing qualities about it is that it’s such an easy read -- but it’s so hard to put down. Open the book to any page and you’ll see: there’s a gem there just waiting to be shared, heart-to-heart, with someone who needs to -- and deserves to -- hear these encouraging words.

Here’s what this book says...

You’re not just a "teenager." You can’t be defined by a simple label like that. You’re a one-of-a-kind wonder. A marvelous individual who’s growing and changing and coming closer each and every day to becoming an adult.

Here’s what it acknowledges...

This time of life can be extraordinary. A mixture of so many things! Depending on the moment, the day, or the circumstance, it can be... challenging. Rewarding. Demanding. Exasperating. Incredible. Confusing. Frustrating one minute. Fantastic the next. Being a teenager means being in the middle of a time of discovery, finding your way over, around, and through the obstacles, and (hopefully!) arriving on the other side with a smile on your face, a newfound confidence in yourself, and a lasting hope in your heart.

And here’s the message it sends...

I care about you. And I want this book to help me say some of the things I want you to remember forever. You have so much potential! You have so many adventures ahead of you. You’re like a walking miracle on the way to a wonderful life. On your journey there, I want you to make yourself proud. Make the right choices. Dream your dreams and make them come true. And remember that someone will always be here, believing in you, cheering you on, and wishing you the very best... everywhere you go and in absolutely everything you do.
