EDITORIAL REVIEW
In the follow-up to his award winning national bestseller, Letters to a Young Brother, actor and star of CSI: NY shares his powerful wisdom for young women everywhere, drawing on the courageous advice of the female role models who transformed his life.
Letters to a Young Sister unfolds as a series of letters written by older brother Hill to a universal Young Sistah. She’s up against the same challenges as every young woman: from relating to her parents and dealing with peer pressure, to juggling schoolwork and crushes and keeping faith in the face of heartache. In his straight-talking style, Hill helps his young sister build self-confidence, self-reliance, self-respect, and encourages her on her journeys towards becoming a strong and successful woman. The book also includes contributions from admirable women like Angela Basset, Ciara, Michelle Obama, Tatyana Ali, Nikki Giovanni, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrikck, Eve, Malinda Williams, Kim Porter, and more.

USER REVIEWS
"Through this book, my 15-year-old and I have both learned tons-of-things about ourselves and each other. I even bought a copy for my 19-year-old niece. It's an excellent read for the young and young-at-heart. Thanks, Hill!"

"Having already read "Letters to a Young Brother", I was very excited to see that Hill Harper decided to expand upon his vision and write a book for young women. The message, the inspiration, and the obvious care and affection Hill expresses for today's youth needs to reach as many youth as possible. His books should be found in every school library around the country and beyond. Teenagers and pre-teens face more changes in their lives than ever before and Hill teaches them how to rise above the challenges and inspires them to reach their potential. I, for one, am very grateful for his vision."

"Hill Harper it the epitomy of everything I want in a man, and I am elated that he has appreciation enough for young women of color to write such a book that addresses our concerns and questions as we come of age."

"This book is great.....I'm almost finished with it and I haven't even had it for 2 weeks! This is the first book I've read from Hill Harper, but it's excellent and a very easy read as well."

"I especially think women should get this for thier daughters, and a second copy for themselves. It is amazing and easy to relate to. But, I don't want it to be written off as a book for kids, I'm 25 and WOW! While somethings don't relate to me specifically, I can reflect on those choices I made or watched my friends make. I took a closer look at me and ask questions and was really truthful with myself. Also, for those ladies that feel there is something missing; while he dosen't tell you what your missing, if you follow the little steps he suggest you to do (no matter how silly you feel doing them)you will figure it out on your own..and that feeling that your waiting for is so much more amazing when it comes from yourself and it's not someone telling you what THEY feel you should/shouldn't do. Anyway, I'm a pretty strong-minded female and this book did put somethings into perspective for me, about me. I'm appreciative of that. I wish him much success, he has done an amazing job. Little by little you'll find your way! God Bless....GOD BLESS"
