Description:

This collection of 23 short pieces of fiction and autobiographical narrative focuses on the passage from girlhood to womanhood in late 20th-century America. The adolescent girls in these selections are poor and white (as in Judy Troy's "The Way Things Will Be"), middle-class black (as in Andrea Lee's "New African"), are privileged Latinas (as in Julia Alvarez's "Trespass"), and come from a variety of other backgrounds that are meaningfully explored by such writers as Amy Tan, Gloria Naylor, Gish Jen, Mary Crow Dog, and others.
