Y’all – so exciting! BODY DRAMA just came out in Italy January 22, 2010, and it is doing so well they’re flying me out for a book tour tomorrow! Woo hoo! First stop, Rome, then Florence. This is very important to me because body drama is a worldwide issue – we all need to just start working with what nature gave us and stop trying to carve and create brand new bodies! While BODY DRAMA has been published in Russia and Germany, this is my first invited book tour and I’m stoked! I will be back on Feb 8th!! Arrivederci!!!!

I love this book! It puts loving (and knowing) your body into words and pictures you’ll find out yours isn’t so different after all. Body Drama has the answers you want to the questions you don’t know how to ask. Fun and frank, like talking to a good friend who knows absolutely everything and is willing to dish.
Kim Gandy, President of the National Organization for Women (NOW)
This honest, funny, and lucidly-written book is the perfect antidote to a culture constantly teaching young women to angst about their bodies. This liberating call speaks directly to the worries and concerns that most of us have, offering a perspective and solutions that will help girls and young women figure out what REALLY matters to them. And maybe the world will be that much saner as a result.

“Body Drama should be on the shelf of every family, school, and doctor in America.”
Nancy Brown, PhD, professor of Adolescent Sexuality at Stanford University, senior research associate at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) Research Institute.
This generation of young girls has been raised in an especially casual, sexualized world and anything short of down and dirty would get tossed in the trash. Redd delivers a lot of great information for girls about what it’s like to live in their female bodies, and how to inhabit it with pride and care. When I first got Body Drama I called my sister. She’s a school nurse and all-around girl power, rock-star and I wanted her to know about it. We both agreed it’s a must-have for school health offices.

Today’s girls need body role models. They need real images, they need reality checks and reassurance. They need this book. By proudly presenting what real women actually look like and what women’s bodies naturally go through, Body Drama takes a major stride toward eradicating the dislike and embarrassment that women have learned to feel about their bodies. Groundbreaking!
from the foreword by Dr. Angela Diaz, director of the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, which is the largest health center for adolescents in America
Since I started this job of reviewing about a year and a half ago, I’ve had the privilege of reading a number of self-help type books geared towards girls and women and their bodies. I have to admit that none have been as comprehensive, helpful, and realistic as Body Drama. As an adult, and a married woman with two children, I still found this book to be extremely helpful, and even discovered information that I hadn’t previously known. Kudos to Ms. Redd for such an informative read. This one is a winner!
