When I was a Little girl

From dedication to acknowledgement this book is about being young and hopeful. It is about joy but it is also about tragedy. It is about love but it is also about heartbreak. It is about friendships but it is also about betrayals. It is about not wanting to grow up but having to grow up too soon. It is about knowing who you are to losing who you are—from placing yourself on a pedestal to watching yourself stumble and fall. It is about anger and regrets and mistakes. But most importantly it is about empathy; and it is about reflecting on all these as a sixteen-year-old girl.
