Ahn's Awakening

Beschreibung

"Ahn's Awakening" begins with a ten-chapter story of a pre-historic girl. The heroine, Ahn, and her family are walking in a North American forest that guides their understanding of life and death. As they journey, Ahn notices monumental changes in her physical body and her soul as her first menstrual period begins. The story includes blank lines for journaling to the left of the written word. After Ahn's story, adults will find inspiration and guidance for turning "the talk" about first menstruation into an ongoing conversation. There are questions and prompts to explore their own first menstrual stories. "Ahn's Awakening" ends with a ritual that helps adults see the sacred nature of our bodies' natural functions and how they interconnect with our soul's journeys. With such guidance, adults will become more confident in framing first menstrual cycles in positive, life-affirming ways.

Autor

SUSAN JO HEITZMAN's roles as daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother prepared her to receive the gift of the story she now calls "Ahn's Awakening". The story came from her daydream about what a girl's nomadic life in the forest might have been like thousands of years ago. Susan Michelle Burton, a former psychologist who taught human sexuality courses, assisted Susan Jo with editing and revising. Dr. Burton also writes children's stories. Susan Jo is a retired educator and a former Bed and Breakfast owner. She loves nature and feels compelled to walk outdoors on wooded trails as often as possible. She added to her resume in 2014 by winning the Democratic Primary as a candidate for U.S. Congress. Her love of our natural environment guided her candidacy. The two Susan's have a strong desire for this book to reach families before their beloved daughters experience their first menstrual periods.
