Dr. Leonard Sax's book **//Girls' on the Edge //** he " ... deftly blends anecdotes, clinical research, and even lines of poetry in persuasive, often fascinating chapters that speak straight to parents . . . Warning that a 1980s solution won't help solve twenty-first-century problems, Sax offers a holistic, sobering call to help the current generation of young women develop the support and sense of self that will allow them to grow into resilient adults." — [|Booklist], April 15 2010
