Steve asked this question about The Girl You Left Behind:
My 12 year old daughter wants to read the book. Is it suitable for someone in the 7th grade? Or, are there sections too mature for a young girl? Thanks in advance for what you can share.

The book is NOT about sex, it is about love, and, trust me, 12 years old do know that love involves physical contact. She will not find in the book anything she does not know yet. It teaches young people human values, integrity, courage - everything we want our children to know and respect. If you will select books for you child based on whether they mention physical love or not, you will fail your duty as a parent and a citizen. I hope she has read this book and many others by now, and enjoyed them. God bless you and her.(less)
