About the Book
Surviving Sixteen is a book you can’t miss out on! It is a profoundly moving novel told in a series of teen voices—each struggling with depression, self-image, and social pressure. Set in a realistic high school environment, the book whisks readers into the secretive emotional lives of teenagers and into an urgently necessary discussion of mental health.
Being an instrument of empathy, understanding, and healing, this book is recommended for teenagers, parents, teachers, as well as counselors.
This book gave my teenage daughter the words she didn't know how to use, and I can’t explain how incredibly grateful I am for that! It opened up a conversation between us. I had no clue where to start, though. This book gave me the words, too. Thank you, Tina, for creating something so true and needed.
