I've been looking for this book! There are several conversations I hope to have with my girls before they read this book but this is a great one to let them loose with and read independently when they're able to.
Amaryllis brings a lot of freedom for choice and doesn't shame different cultures for their preferences.

didn't read through the whole thing word-for-word, skimmed it mostly, but it seems to be decent. references the Bible and scriptures, so great for the Christian family.

Really good book. So many instances of pointing the girls back to scripture which is so unusual in something like this.
