HERE'S NEWS FROM CO-AUTHOR SHINAN BARCLAY
Moontime for Kory makes puberty an adventure. Through friendship, finding her talents and place in a community, a girl experiences a rite-of-passage into womanhood. The story also inspires readers to create a local, sustainable economy—so important in these changing times.
How is this book different from others on the market?
Most books on adolescent change and a girl’s first period are filled with anatomical diagrams and biological facts. As a historical fantasy, Flowering Woman, Moontime for Kory makes menstruation sacred and shows what is possible when women work together. In addition to being entertaining and heartwarming, the book contains information that eases a young reader’s concerns about how, where and when she’ll get her period. And, the wise grandmothers of the village offer profound advice on menstruation, sex, passion and pregnancy.
Many women have said that in reading Moontime for Kory they’ve experienced their own rite of passage. The story invites dialog between mothers and daughters, women friends and family members.
