Chocolate for a Teen’s Soul: Life-Changing Stories For Young Women About Growing Wise and Growing Strong
Kay Allenbaugh (Author), bìa mềm 256 trang, có lỗi viết chữ, giá dán ngoài bìa.I got my first cat when I was six years old. She was a stray; my mother foundher and brought her home to me. We spent 19 full years together. Always the perfect cat, she died in her sleep when she was growing too frail for fun. She must have known I would never have had the strength to put her to sleep myself.
I was (understandably) devastated when she died — and my phone rang off the hook. Many of my friends had grown up with my cat, too, and were calling to express their grief. The weeks after her death are a weepy blur, but one conversation stands out in my mind. A woman I wasn’t very close to called to tell me about the death of her dog. There was something overwhelmingly comforting about her story. Even though she didn’t know me or my “kitten” well, her shared experience just made me feel less alone.
Shared stories are the idea of Chocolate for a Teen’s Soul by Kay Allenbaugh. “Rich stories, like chocolate, not only make you feel good, they can also serve as comfort through confusing times,” she writes in her introduction. (Allenbaugh is apparently a chocolate freak; she has also written Chocolate
for Woman’s Soul, …for a Lover’s Heart, …for a Woman’s Heart, …for a Mother’s Heart, etc.) Her collected stories, written by women young and old and bundled by theme in chapters like “Onward and Upward,” “Making Memories,” and “What Is This Thing Called Love?”, are not always uplifting — and therein lies the strength of Chocolate for a Teen’s Soul.”
