A Review of Girl Talk

My daughter Camille just finished Girl Talk and here is her review.

Century after century, Chinese mothers would teach their daughters a 'secret' language called Nushu. This language was never seen by masculine eyes. It was unique to the women alone. Three days after her daughter was married, the mother would give the young bride a book in which to write Nushu. This journal of her marriage would be used as a teaching tool when it came time to teach her daughter Nushu.

Girl Talk is an excellent book. Written by Carolyn Mahaney and her daughter Nicole Whitacre, this book offers helpful insight on communication, conflict, biblical womanhood, and modesty. With a myriad of scripture references, this book is a must have for all Christian teen aged girls and their mothers. I loved the easy-flowing conversational style! It has so many real life examples and for-instances.

Carolyn and Nicole compare the language of biblical womanhood to Nushu It is something very important to pass on to our daughters. Unfortunately, just like Nushu, biblical womanhood is becoming viewed as old fashioned. Let's not let biblical womanhood die, though. We must preserve this jewel. I am so grateful to Carolyn and Nicole for writing this book. They should be an example to us all regarding what girl talk is all about.
