Girl Almighty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781727841367)

"Girl Almighty" is a collection of personal essays and stories about the intricacies of girlhood. The book starts off with a candid peek into the keyhole of Handoko's household in the mid-nineties where she talks about her immigrant family's alienation while growing up in a quiet, suburban neighborhood in the South. From then on, she shares more experiences that many young women may resonate with; from the difficulties of maintaining self-esteem in an image based society, unrequited love and obsession, psychological wounds, to dabbling in the occult at slumber parties. Told with sharp wit and humor, and equal parts disturbingly honest and acerbic, together these stories create a startlingly funny picture of an American girl.
