Dear Librarian, Mention Judy Blume among a group of women and there's instant recognition. Everything we needed to learn about growing up was found in the pages of Blume's books - they shaped how we thought about ourselves, our friends, and our place in the world. This book is a collection of essays that pays homage to the woman, and the books, that informed an entire generation of women. Filled with humor, honesty and personal insight, each essay entertains as it celebrates the process of growing up. The collection of essays features some of today's most popular women writers, including Meg Cabot, Megan McCafferty and Julie Kenner. As fans of Judy Blume, there wasn't a single author who didn't immediately recall her favorite Blume book, and the a ha moment it inspired. While writing the essays we all had a good laugh – at ourselves - and shared a sense of recognition for the Judy Blume moments that we've experienced over the years. To learn more about EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW… and why Publisher's Marketplace called the anthology “Heatfelt and revealing,” please visit me at www.jenniferoconnell.com. Thanks for your support!
