Read an Excerpt

Part 1: Self-Worth
Each of us longs to be ourselves. And yet, we seek the approval of others: Do you think I'm okay? Do you accept me as I am? Do you like the way I look? Do you approve of how I act? Do you like me? Will you be my friend?



Book Description

The Richardella-dulcisica, better known as the taste berry, is a unique fruit. After you eat one all the food you eat afterwards-even distasteful food-will taste sweet and delicious. Similarly, there are people who, through their love and compassion, make the lives of others better. Like the taste berry, these people can turn sour days into delightful, even joyful, ones.

Life is full of confusion, turmoil and heartache.

Taste Berries for Teens is a unique combination of timeless and heartwarming narratives, teen responses and reactions, and the authors' own loving and wise commentary and advice - that can help us through tough times and show us that we're not alone in what we go through.
