A video book review of Blueprints for Building Better Girls by Elissa Schappell. Purchase the book on Bookshop here, and on Powells here.

"This book of short stories links together women of various ages in the similar situation of being transformed by significant experiences. It chronicles the unspoken realities of life where mild abuse, the disappointments of motherhood, handling betrayal and managing men are the norm. Schappell writes in hysterical analogies in contexts and settings that multiple generations will appreciate." -- Michelle Z. from In the Stacks.tv
