L.O.Y.A.L.T.Y.: A Girls Guide to Understanding Authentic Friendships (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781797488608)

How does one become a good friend? How does one find a good friend? In today's society, where girl fights, superficial relationships, reality tv, unhealthy competition and fake news are the norm, recognizing authenticity is challenging. In my experiences, when friendships breakdown, it often stems back to girlhood values and perceptions. L.O.Y.A.L.T.Y. provides a road map to first understanding how self-love is at the core of finding and sustaining friendships.

This book will show girls that they are capable of developing and maintaining loyal and lifelong relationships with girls who will hold them down through the hills and valleys of life. They will discover:

• Why self-love matters.
• How to recognize a Seasonal friend vs a Lifer.
• How to question someone's loyalty in a healthy and productive manner.
• How to crack the Girl C.O.D.E.
• How to discern when it is time to let go.
• Why mothers are usually right about their circle of friends.

Yalonda J. Brown, Youth Experience Expert, will unpack this complicated topic with her own experiences and tips that helped her encourage her own daughter but also reach joy and enrichment in friendships that span to over thirty years.
