Review Quotes

"Restoring Our Girls empowers parents by offering them a blueprint for engaging in the real conversation our girls so desperately need right now. With compassion and empathy, Adams guides parents to focus on what really matters: listening, understanding, and supporting our daughters. In the process, Adams also offers critical insights that enable parents to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This is a game-changing book for modern parents who want their daughters to thrive in adolescence and beyond."

-Jennifer Breheny Wallace, author of the New York Times bestselling book Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic -- And What We Can Do About It

"By masterfully equipping parents with skills to engage in conscious communication with their teen daughters, this critically essential book is aimed to help both navigate and thrive through the storms of adolescence in a way that not only keeps them connected but allows the children to emerge into empowered adults. A book I wish my parents had during my teen years, this is an urgent and priceless read."

--Dr. Shefali, clinical psychologist and NYT bestselling author

"If you once marveled at the spirit and personality of your little girl but find yourself baffled lately at where that vibrant person has gone, read this book. Cathy tackles the systemic, political, and cultural issues that complicate girlhood today, in the process giving parents the language to confidently and convincingly talk with their daughters about remaining true to themselves despite crushing pressure to conform."

--Michelle Icard, author of Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success

"Restoring Our Girls is the guide that daughters deserve to have parents read. Cathy Cassani Adams is an experienced and trustworthy guide, teaching us to listen, engage, and support our girls in such a way that they can fearlessly and unquestioningly embody their most authentic selves. As a therapist, mother, and auntie, I am so grateful for this book."

--Alexandra H. Solomon, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist, faculty at Northwestern University, bestselling author of Love Every Day, and host of the podcast, Reimagining Love

"Restoring Our Girls is a gem of a book. Generation X, in particular, has worked hard to raise young women who know themselves better than we did, with the ultimate hope that they are able to blend an abiding self-love and a deep empathy for others to create an inner foundation that lasts a lifetime. This is no easy feat, and one that took many of us decades to integrate fully into our own lives. This book gives parents a blueprint for how it might be done with love, humor, embrace of paradox, respect for nuance, and real talk. The journey that Cathy highlights for us is often messy, but it's thorough and honest, and the rewards are great. Young girls who, from the beginning, develop a greater self-awareness and an acknowledgment of how their lives intersect with a big, beautiful world, eventually become women with the capacity to live more fully and joyfully in their own skin. I hope this book reaches the hands of many."

--Annie Burnside, author of Soul to Soul Parenting and From Role to Soul

Restoring Our Girls gives a refreshing and wise perspective on how to navigate the unsettled waters of girlhood without talking down to either parents or girls--qu
