She first published this book as Your Story, Ahn’s Story, and Our Stories in 2007. The story came to her as she daydreamed about what a girl’s nomadic life in the forest might have been like thousands of years ago. Susan Jo is publishing this second edition with the help of Susan Michelle, a former psychologist who has taught human sexuality courses. This version of Ahn’s Awakening has a more fluid storyline and has even more materials and resources for mothers or mentors who are guiding pre-teen girls. The two Susans have a strong desire for this book to reach families before their beloved daughters and/or mentees experience their menarche (first menstrual period).
Amazed that a fictional account of menarche is a rarity, Susan Jo and Susan Michelle are eager to get this book to mentors, mothers, and their beloved
pre-teen girls. Both women believe that additional fictional accounts of menarche would augment the many nonfiction books that teach girls the biological details of this monumental passage. The fact that menarche is often ignored in our current cultural stories is tragic.
Susan Jo loves nature and feels compelled to walk outdoors in wooded areas as often as possible. At this point, her story is unique because her main character lives in total connection with the Earth as she explores her experience of her menarche.
Susan Jo is a retired educator and a former bed-and-breakfast owner. She added to her resumé in 2014 by winning the Democratic primary as a candidate for U.S. Congress in Indiana’s Sixth Congressional District. Her love of our natural environment also guided her candidacy.vizualizați mai puține
