He Said, She Said
Topic: Books
I just saw this book by Ken and Jasmyn Klarfeld profiled in ForeWord Magazine. The authors are father and daughter, and the book recounts their separate experiences as smart, funny Jasmyn suddenly became an "out-of-control" teenager: smoking, drinking, doing drugs, running away from home, surviving rape.... The two wrote their parallel stories separately, allowing readers to experience the events through the mind of a parent and the mind of a teen.

I haven't read the book, and can't speak to its quality, but I admire the authors' goal of helping families navigate the treacherous teen years. The book was self-published through iUniverse (something else I, as someone who manages the day-to-day operation of a small press, admire) and is available through Barnes and Noble.

You can read a minimal description of the book and an excerpt at: www.buyhesaidshesaid.com

Or, you can read the ForeWord Magazine interview with the authors at: www.forewordmagazine.net
