A mother's close-up account of her daughter's entry into adolescence

Lauren Kessler chronicles an eighteen-month period in which she closely observes her daughter Lizzie’s transition toward the teenage years. Drawing on experiences in middle-school classrooms, malls, summer camp, and online chat groups, the book places one family’s changing relationship alongside the social environments shaping a twenty-first-century teen’s daily life. The parent is not positioned only as observer: Kessler also records the vulnerability and uncertainty involved in participating in her daughter’s world. This is a family-centered look at adolescence as both a personal transformation and a wider social landscape.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking a firsthand account of navigating a daughter’s adolescence
  • Readers interested in contemporary teen social environments, from school to online groups
  • Those interested in family relationships during the transition to the teenage years

Book overview

"Straight from the trenches, a mom's tale of weathering her daughter's transformation from sweetheart to snark mouth." - People

With the eye of a reporter, the curiosity of an anthropologist, and the open-and sometimes wounded-heart of a mother, award-winning author Lauren Kessler launches an eighteen-month mission, embedding herself in her about-to-be-teenage daughter Lizzie's life. Everywhere from middle school classrooms to the mall, from summer camp to online chat groups, Kessler observes and chronicles-and sometimes participates in-the vibrant, dynamic, and scary life of a twenty-first-century teen.
