<br/><br/> "The early years of adolescence are a tumultuous time, full of challenges and opportunities that can shape one's whole life. In recent years, several books have analyzed this period of life for girls, but this is one of the first books to investigate the interior life of boys as they develop their sense of self and begin the spiritual journeys that will carry them throughout their lives."--Jacket.
