The Talk I Never Had is a look into the life of a pre-teen girl named Jordan. Within this book, Jordan shares her diary and thoughts as her body begins a metamorphosis right before her eyes. She is not afraid to ask God those hard, confusing questions about His creation and her body. Jordan shares relatable, encouraging and empowering stories of embracing your body as the valuable treasure it is. She will inspire each girl to write her own hygiene plan, create a HelloFlo calendar and develop a life verse. Through conversations with her mom, Jordan learns the proper anatomical names of her body parts, the stages of puberty to adulthood and, most of all, that the Creator of all things created her and her body for a divine purpose. Jordan embraces the truth that she is fearfully and wonderfully made. The Talk I Never Had is meant to encourage young girls (ages 8-13) and mothers to have "the talk."About the AuthorsJordan Reed and her mother, Shermane Reed, reside in Lafayette, Louisiana.
