The time of puberty invariably brings with it the dawning awareness of sexuality, of a teens inherent masculinity or femininity, and the struggle to put that sexuality into proper perspective.
For some, the transition occurs with relative case. For others the change is marked by tension and anxiety, and a growing awareness that their world is changing much faster than they would like.
For the young girl in this book the initiation into the world of sexuality is full of frustration and fear. Eager to explore the bounds of her femininity, she becomes a victim of many uncaring people, until finally, she learns the power she holds over the men in her life.
GET BEHIND DAUGHTER — the story of a young girl’s struggle to make her own, very personal transition into adulthood. Her story is a reminder of the pitfalls standing in the way of those growing up. It is a lesson for society.
Lily ran into her family’s big suburban split level house. She was home from her first date. Her big blue eyes were shiny with tears.
When Lily started to climb the stairs to her room, she heard her name. She tiptoed into the living room, glancing up at the grandfather clock. She was late. She entered the living room casually, smoothing wrinkles from her short pink dress.
“You okay?” Don Thompson asked.
“Yeah,” Lily said, and then stuttered excuses for her lateness. While she spoke of her first date, her voice broke. She looked down. Her father always knew when she was lying. She started to cry. Then her daddy’s hand patted the couch next to him.
“Tell me the truth,” he said, drawing on his pipe.
