   I love the books I have read and was wondering is there a specific book that reaches out to help a 17 yr old female struggling to find herself in this world? To maybe help her to know her self worth or value? Asking for a friend. Thank you

     I would recommend Resisting Happines, Perfectly Yourself, and Rocking Chair Prophet.

     God Bless, bob
