Descriere Everything I Couldn't Tell My Mother - Pauleanna Reid

\n \nEverything I Couldn't Tell My Mother is a coming-of-age story for any woman who\n \nhas ever questioned her sexual maturity and readiness, stayed silent at a time when\n \nshe should have spoken up or accepted treatment that was less than what she\n \nAaliyah Panarese is the teenage daughter of successful, overprotective parents who\n \nwant the best for her but rarely consider her hopes and dreams. Under the matriarchal\n \nrules of her abusive mother, Aaliyah is expected to, without question, follow in\n \nher footsteps and attend law school after she graduates from high school. Frustrated\n \nand too cowardly to express her dreams of becoming a writer, she escapes life's harsh\n \nrealities by journaling heartfelt letters to her mother inside a diary, hoping that one\n \nday they will be the keys to rebuilding trust and\n \nstrengthening the emotional connection that is lacking between them.\n \nIn a desperate attempt to nd her voice, and feel accepted and loved, she befriends\n \nStacy, Tonja and Manny--the most rebellious girls at her school. Aaliyah follows the\n \ncrowd, breaks her parents' rules and is quickly thrown into a battlefield marked with\n \npeer pressure, self-loathing, sexual discovery and broken friendships. Her journey\n \ntakes dramatic twists and turns while delivering a cautionary tale that is grounded in\n \nthe reality of what it is to be a teenager in today's instant-access generation.\n \n \n
