"The journey toward authenticity, toward becoming whole is made palpable in Maureen Seaton's Sex Talks to Girls: A Memoir. It shines its considerable light on the passage from religion toward faith, from self-medication to sobriety, from daughterhood to motherhood, from being the disembodied 'good girl' to embracing her own bad lesbian self. In crisp chapters, Seaton leads us, step-by-step, over this harrowing and blissful road, so distinct from yet so much like our own."—Terry Wolverton, author of Insurgent Muse: Life and Art at the Woman's Building

"What can I say? I loved this book! From the first sentence, Sex Talks to Girls caught me, held me—often torn between laughter and tears—in the bold, brave palm of its generous hand. A fierce, fresh, funhouse ride through the mirrored maze that constitutes one woman's coming of age—and into her own full powers."—A. Manette Ansay, author of Limbo and Vinegar Hill

"Sex Talks to Girls presents us with a recognizable life; not the one with a happy ending but the one lived one day at a time. Seaton fills her pages with pathos and humor."—Elena Georgiou, author of Mercy, Mercy Me
