Review Quotes

"Maureen Stiles has drawn on her own parenting experience of raising three sons to create this indispensable guide for teens who are on the cusp of adulthood. She writes with clarity about topics that teens need to understand as they embark on a life that is increasingly independent of their parents. She includes essential information about taking care of their health and managing their money, while also covering tips such as the correct way to address an envelope and how to boil an egg. With a helpful index, this is a book teens can turn to when they have questions and need the advice of a trusted adult." -- Mary Dell Harrington, co-founder, Grown and Flown

"This book is spot on with crucial advice that guides teens into becoming independent, confident, successful adults.
