"If you could put one book into the hands of every young woman you know, this should be the book. And if she applied a fraction of the wisdom contained therein, she'd be spared a mountain of tears. This is an amazing book and I highly recommend it."

"On My Own Now is an entertaining, smart, and Biblically savvy friend for any girl to bring along when she leaves the nest. An excellent tool for parents to impart the love, support and wisdom their daughters need as they step into the adult world."

About the Book
On My Own Now is about strengthening young women’s faith and preventing the screw-ups that can brand us for life. Donna Lee Schillinger draws on her eclectic past as a rebellious youth, Peace Corps volunteer, social worker, single mother, court mediator and executive director of a home for single young mothers. She uses gender-reversed Proverbs with real-life applications to wave the red flag of caution for young women, warning against the pitfalls of a post-modern, sexually casual, consumer-is-king society that is indelibly scarring youth with cynicism, sexually transmitted diseases and bad credit. This compact collection of quirky vignettes is great for daily devotions, affirmations, confessions, benedictions and many other religious “tions,” all with the goal of keeping you on the yellow brick road. After all, you’re not in Kansas anymore – you’re on your own now.

"Whether you actually give this to the teen in your life, or just happen to leave it laying around where they'll 'accidentally' find it and claim it, you can't go wrong with this as another resource to teach your young woman the Biblical ideals and principles which will best lead her into the future."
"This would make a great YA bible study for the girls in your Youth group. I recommend it highly."
