Splendidly imagined and
written...Teen Angel maps out a territory of peculiarly modern
adolescence....Sexual frankness is taken for granted--the teenage
girls in these stories drape Barbie dolls in diaphragms 'like a hoop
skirt.' --New York Times Book Review
Gingher captures both
perspectives: teens rushing hopefully toward adulthood, their parents
and older siblings looking back with a certain wistfulness....She
remembers what it's like to be a teenager, and she makes us remember
too--the restlessness and confusion but also the 'dumb luck and magic.' --Orlando
Sentinel
These warm, insightful
stories portray adolescents at touching moments of infatuation,
awareness and recognition of the many guises of love....Gingher has
provided the reader with a gift of closely observed, deeply felt stories
that shimmer with truth. --Publishers Weekly
Not simple tales of sweet
romance, these stories deal with love of a textured, more genuine kind.
--Booklist
