Product Description
An inspirational guide for mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, aunts, or any woman wishing to nurture a girl through her coming of age (while empowering herself!) This book provides practical guidelines for mentoring a girl into womanhood. It offers creative ceremonies and activities designed to honor a girl s transition and call her to new levels of maturity. At the same time, it presents the adult woman/mentor with powerful tools for enhancing her inner and outer life. The book is motivated by the belief that for a girl to enter womanhood in a meaningful way, it is essential that her mother and other special women in her life cultivate a new way of relating that will gradually help her to become their peer. |

A Much-Needed Book for Women and Mothers by Marguerite Rigoglioso (California)  5 Stars
January 24, 2008
Becoming Peers is a wonderful and much-needed book for anyone who is an elder or mother to girls. There are no road maps today for how to help girls transition to womanhood in a meaningful and concrete way, so this book fills in a huge gap. DeAnna L'am provides easy-to-do and exciting activities that girls and women can engage in together that truly lead to the enhancement of a girl's self-esteem and her passage into greater maturity. I was stunned to see the degree to which the special girl in my life did a turnaround after she was lovingly embraced in ceremony by older women. Ceremony really works, yet it's so easy to overlook that fact because most of our supposedly spiritual rituals have lost their meaning. I also love how DeAnna has women make it a priority to take care of themselves first and quench their own thirst for healing and ceremony as a means of preparing for a girl's rite of passage. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to help girls thrive.

What a gift this book is to all women of today, and tomorrow. The author brings out a "taboo" topic and turns it into a beautiful gift. She explains in easy to understand language how (and why) to welcome girls into womanhood. This is a great book for woman who has young girls in their lives, weather its friends or relatives.
