When Kari Kampakis wrote a blog post in July 2013 titled “10 Truths Young Girls Should Know,” the post went viral and was shared more than 65,000 times on Facebook. Her message struck a chord with moms and dads across the country. 10 Ultimate Truths Girls Should Know is a nonfiction book for girls, which expands on the 10 truths to reach the hearts of both moms and daughters.
Written for teens and tweens, it is a practical roadmap designed to help girls make good choices, discover their purpose, and grow an identity in Christ. Girls today face enormous pressure to chase the wrong things – popularity, boys, materialism, perfection, beauty, cliques, bullying, rejection, and social media nightmares. The point of this book is to point them in the right direction and reassure them that they don’t have to compromise their integrity or future to find the love, acceptance, and security they’re searching for.
