A "must-have, must-read" for every young woman, April 6 2010

This review is from: The Real Life Body Book: A Young Woman's Complete Guide to Health and Wellness (Paperback)
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful new book, The Real Life Body Book: A Young Woman's Complete Guide to Health and Wellness. I got it for my college-aged daughter as a birthday present. She loves the topics covered and the way all the information is presented (I do too). In my opinion, this easy-to-read, comprehensive resource on health should be on every young woman's bookshelf and, if college-bound, a top item on her checklist of "what to take to college."
