Brief description of the book: Matters of the Heart takes the reader on an empowering journey of self-discovery that will leave them felling more self-confident, more determined and more in-tune with who they really are – a journey that will make their transition into young adulthood a smoother, happier and more satisfying one! Readers get to know themselves better as they work through "ten matters" (such as "You Matter," "Words Matter," and so on) to help them become better individuals. Matters of the Heart is a must-have guidebook for teen girls.

Author Bio: Corin Wiser, M.Ed., is a recognized speaker and author who empowers teen girls to take full responsibility for who they are and who they want to become. Corin is committed to helping teen girls take charge of their lives by understanding that regardless of circumstances, each young woman is the "writer, director and star of her very own movie." Corin's first book, Matters of the Heart, published in 2008, has already touched the lives of many teen girls. Matters of the Heart has been hailed by teachers, mothers, fellow authors and readers as "a must read book for all teen girls." Through her practical and approachable style, Corin helps teen girls discover their inner voice and gain the insight necessary to become who they really are while recognizing the need to live a purposeful life. Corin's life experiences paired with her multiple roles of wife and mother of three daughters have underscored her unique understanding of the female heart. She conducts workshops nationwide for teen girls (e.g. "The Gift of You") and for mothers and daughters ("Mothers & Daughters, Connecting Here and Now,"), offering simple, practical tools to help inspire and empower women of all ages.

Every teenage girl should read this book. It really spells out the issues teen girls face and offers practical advice, hope and inspiration on how to get the most out of those tough teen years and prepare for a great life ahead. I love the way the chapters are organized, how one girl's story is woven into the text and most of all I love the exercises that are offered to help girls know themselves, sort their values and make informed decisions about the life they want to lead. Never preachy, always direct and informative. Parents, buy it for your kids...kids, buy it for yourself!

Finally a book that speaks to teenage girls at their level. A much needed guide in today's world. The author really understands the challenges girls are faced with and offers them a very solid and excellent road map of self-discovery. I only wish this book had been written earlier and been available to my generation. Should be required reading for all teenage girls.
