YES! This book is a Godsend, and not just for girls--for everybody who isn't military or a LEO. I am not exaggerating. This book was one of the most important gifts I've ever received. I believe it has saved my life.

The bottom line: our instincts are not there by coincidence or accident. Too many girls and women are injured or killed because they turn down the volume on their instincts since they want to seem "nice" and not make trouble and not hurt anybody's feelings.

If your niece is creeped out, pay attention. She could be wrong, but the downside of being wrong is trivial. The downside of disregarding a legitimate warning from her innate instincts could be far more serious than inconvenience or hurt feelings. She MUST learn to politely and firmly insist on maintaining her own level of security.

Thank you for the recommendation. I’m heading to the library in a few minutes and I found that they have a copy. I have one teen daughter and another who is 8 years old.

The bulk of the time, the women are injured or killed by their thug boyfriends who they are just head-over-heels in loooove with, rather than "creepy" middle-aged teachers.
