Blooming is a faith-friendly, science-sound guide designed to walk girls and their parents through adolescence with wisdom, honesty, and grace. While rooted in biology and health, Blooming is Bible-based and honors the values you hold dear. It encourages girls to see themselves as uniquely created and loved by God — with a body to care for, a mind to nurture, and a heart to guard.

You will find a gentle, thoughtful way for parents to address sensitive topics — including where babies come from and the basics of sexual intimacy — without awkwardness or guessing how to begin. Subject by subject, the successive chapters offer clarity and comfort for both parent and child.

The book explores topics such as:

• The physical changes young girls and boys experience during puberty

• Emotional health, body image, and identity

• Communication between parents and daughters

• Practical guidance on personal care, boundaries, and self-respect

At about 80 pages, Blooming presents this sensitive journey in clear, accessible language —combining scientific understanding with spiritual encouragement.

An updated edition of Blooming is underway and will be available on Amazon soon. For now, if you would like to purchase a copy of the current edition, please go to my contact page and let me know.
