It's Your Rite : Girls' Coming-Of-Age Stories

Coming of age doesn't always mean getting a great car and having the perfect boyfriend. In Reform Judaism, it's having a Bat Mitzvah. Some Christianity's, it's being confirmed. For wealthy girls in the South, it's putting on a veil. For some people, it's a special ceremony put together by their parents. Coming of age ceremonies are what this book is all about. Read about a Native American girl's journey into forest as her coming of age, and of course, one of those idyllic Sweet Sixteen's that we're always hearing about, complete with car and huge party.
