That Damn Girl Stuff is Phyllis Williams-Strawder's heartfelt, funny, and emotional memoir of preparing her daughter for puberty. She knows the dread of wanting a daughter ready for the world yet fears she isn't. As her daughter grew older with more questions, she asked her when they should have THE TALK. Her then seven-year-old daughter replied "nine" thinking they'd negotiate. When her mother agreed instead of countering, she wanted to change her answer. Her mother wanted to do the same.
