"To us, Margaret Simon wasn’t a character, she was a proxy — for the girl who stuffed socks in her bra, who felt uncomfortable in her own skin; for the girl who was homesick for a friend who had matured overnight or moved away or turned mean; for the girl who struggled to make sense of the diagrams on the origami-folded instructions inside the tampon box."
I loved this book, and it was "the talk" that my stepmother never gave me. I was that girl- stuffing my bra, doing the exercises.
My memoir Redeemed, A memoir of a Stolen Childhood is coming out on June 25, 2024. Keep checking for book cover and other details.
