ARYN KYLE, whose award-winning novel The God of Animals was hailed as "reason for readers to rejoice" (USA Today), turns her gift for storytelling to the lives of girls and women in this spectacular collection. These eleven stories showcase Kyle’s keen eye for character, her humor, and her uncanny grasp of the loneliness, selfishness, and longing that underlie female experience. In "Nine," a young girl given to exaggeration escapes a humiliating ninth birthday celebration with the help of her father’s new girlfriend. The dubious benefits of sleeping with one’s boss are revealed when a bookstore manager defends an employee from an irate customer in the hilarious "Sex Scenes from a Chain Bookstore." A raid on a neighbor’s meth lab strengthens the unlikely friendship between a solitary woman and a Goth teenage girl in "Boys and Girls Like You and Me." And in a notable exception to the rule, "Captain’s Club" features a boy whose devotion to a lonely woman transforms his cruise vacation. In moments electric with sudden harmony or ruthless indifference, the girls and women in this collection provoke, beguile, and entertain. Writing with remarkable tenderness and wisdom, Kyle gives us a collection radiant with bittersweet revelations and startling insights, and secures her reputation as a major young talent.

"Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and even gang rape are not uncommon experiences for many African American girls living in poor urban neighborhoods. In Getting Played, Jody Miller presents a compelling picture of how inextricably linked such violence is to their daily lives. Drawing from richly textured interviews with adolescent girls and boys, Miller brings a keen eye to how urban neglect and gender inequality coalesce to structure girls' risks for gendered violence. Her analysis shows how young women struggle to navigate this dangerous terrain despite vastly inadequate social and institutional support."--Back cover.

Wynter Pitts, founder of For Girls Like You magazine, gives girls a new devotional showing them a correct definition of themselves, opening their eyes to God's truth and the difference it makes in their lives. Each daily devotion includes a prayer to help girls apply the lesson.

He tiptoed down the hall, eased the front door open, and was out. When he pulled on the front gate, he found it locked tight. He quickly slid the ends of his tennis shoes into the oblong squares of the fence. He was over in a few seconds. Freedom at last! He was delirious. He ran to the brick lot that was just across the way from his back door. He would show them; if they didn't want him, he would go to Africa and join up with Tarzan and be lord of the jungle. Or maybe he would go to Arabia and be a foreign legion soldier and fight all them Sheik fellers, and he might even get one of them magic lamps with his own genie. As he worked his way through the brick pile he had a great idea: he would build his own fort, right here in the brick lot. So says Timmy Garvey, the most imaginative kid on the block! Born into a dysfunctional family, Timmy learns to take care of himself and lead an upbeat life. After moving between foster families, Timmy's father, Harold, finally remarries and takes him back in. But Harold has become an abusive man, and his wife can't get away. Timmy and his stepmother work together to avoid Harold and they find a balance of harmony in their united front. As Timmy grows he learns what real life is like, charming all those he meets along the way.
