A guide for girls!

I have to say I wish I had gotten this book years ago as it is filled with so much useful information!  This book is divided into 10 sections, each section focusing on a specific topic which then is broken down into more specific things.  For example, the second chapter is social skills & manners.  Included in this section is how to shake hands, how to set a table, how to leave a tip, how to make a bed, how to wrap a gift, among other things as well.  Each skill has a materials needed list, time requirement/commitment listed, steps if applicable and instructions as to how to complete the task.  The layout is wonderful, very easy to follow and easy to find a specific skill that you may have questions about or a refresher as to the "proper" acceptable way to handle a specific situation.  I highly recommend this book and would suggest it for moms to have on hand for helping to teach their daughters various things and to have as a resource for girls to look into on their own.  Also, it is wonderful for those whom may not live with their mother or have a mother figure in the home as it would be uncomfortable asking a father questions, for example, in regards to shaving legs, and proper hygiene.  "The Girls' Guide to Conquering Life" will definitely help girls to do just that and feel confident in their actions!
