A Review from the Mother Daughter Book Club

I just finished an interesting book called The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything) by Dr. Barabra Becker Holstein. It was a delightful little book about a girl who keeps a diary where she writes the truth, while leaving a fake diary around for her parents to find. She’s confident and insecure, a child and a young woman, practical and unreasonable—in short, everything that most girls are when they are on the cusp of adolescence. While the book is short, there is lot’s to generate… Continue

THE TRUTH (I'M A GIRL, I'M SMART, AND I KNOW EVERYTHING) by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

Category: Contemporary Age Recommendation: Grades 6+ Release Date: 1/1/08 Publisher: The Enchanted Self Press Reviewed by: Marta Morrison Rating: 5 Stars This is a very short little book that delivers a big punch. It is written in the form of a diary. The writer is a 12-year-old girl in an era before the big technology boom. There are no cell phones or computers. It reminded me of when I grew up. But the questions and the observations that "the girl" writes about are just as timely today. Su… Continue

Can You Handle the 'Truth'?

Little girls provide distinctive perspectives July 24, 2008 - Frank Rosci, Jewish Exponent Feature Experts confirm what the majority of people know: Truth comes in a number of forms and reveals itself in myriad ways, and that it's often relative, depending on the needs and expectations of the seeker. Now, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, based in Long Branch, N.J., and a nationally known positive psychologist -- an officially recognized branch of psychology that centers on what's right with people… Continue

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

A very slim, diary-like book, The Truth (I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything) is the sort of book that appeals to girls and grown women alike. It is sweet and somewhat sadly nostalgic. Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein lays out this story in the form of a young girl’s diary, with all the high emotions, fears and joys of that time of life. It brings us back to remembering small happinesses, allowing them to make us glow - instead of steeping the all-importance of bills, chores and work. This is… Continue

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein: The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything)

We go through a year and a half with this girl, through a school year, a summer and right before her family’s move two towns away. She finds out her mom is pregnant, she may not “love” the boy as much as she originally thought, and her friend knows more about g… Continue
