Book Reviews

Girls on the Brink is a must-read for parents, teachers and healthcare professionals. Donna Jackson Nakazawa conscientiously explores the evolving science behind how and why our girls are suffering digging into the roles of biology, psychology, and social structures. What is more important though is rather than allowing us to sit paralyzed in the overwhelming nature of the problem, she then empowers readers to use any combination of the 15 different strategies and scripts to forge stronger more supportive relationships with our daughters. As a mom of 2 young girls and a physician, I have no doubt that I will be returning back to this book time and time again in the coming years.

Kara Wada, MD ( The Crunchy Allergist )

With detailed prescriptions for supporting the unique needs of girls, this is not only a book parents will dog-ear for solutions to everyday adolescent turmoil, but a call to action for our society to quell the crises closing in on growing up female. It is a balm of a book.

Michelle Icard, author of Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen

Some books translate science into understandable language; some offer advice in the form of actionable steps; and some weave stories that grab you by the heart. This one—miraculously—does all three.

Cara Natterson, MD, bestselling author of The Care and Keeping of You and Decoding Boys

The smart analysis and wealth of neuroscientific and psychological research adds nuance to public discourse around girls’ mental health. . . . Timely and incisive, this issues an acute warning that the kids are not alright.

Publishers Weekly

A perceptive, informative examination of the problems young American girls face and how to change them . . . All of the author’s advice is sound, and her insights into how to start the process of change make this an important book for parents of girls.
