Description
You Go, Girl! is a fictional tale based on real-life experiences. It offers a nostalgic glimpse of growing up in 1959 and centers on heartwarming stories about a grandmother's past and her granddaughter's present.
During a week-long visit, twelve-year-old Suzie agrees to read her grandmother Elaine's journal from 1959, curious about life in the "old days" before cell phones and social media. As Suzie delves into the journal, she peppers Elaine with questions about the restrictions imposed on girls in the past, sparking discussions about gender norms and empowerment.
Through their shared stories, secrets are unveiled and a deeper bond between generations emerges. Suzie learns valuable lessons on facing bullies and fighting for gender equality, inspired by her grandmother's resilience and spirit.
As the week comes to an end and Suzie prepares to return home, both she and Elaine are transformed by their time together, forever changed by the revelations and connections forged across generations.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Elaine Insinnia’s You Go, Girl! is a charming coming-of-age story that does well in mixing the nostalgia of the 1960s with timeless themes of friendship and self-discovery. The dual narrative, shifting between Lainie’s experiences in the late 1950s and her granddaughter Suzie’s reflections in the present day, is a wonderful portrayal of generational connection. Insinnia’s writing is sharp, with fully fleshed-out character development that allows readers to connect with both Lainie and Suzie both individually and collectively. As a girl mom, I most like the look into gender roles, doing what is right, and supporting one another even when the chips are down There's plenty of fun too, like the lively portrayals of school dances, pranks, and youthful ambition. Overall, this is a delightful read for anyone who enjoys stories that give a bit of history while building up heartwarming relationships. Very highly recommended." - Jamie Michele, Readers' Favorite
