Rachel worked out her own story. Now it’s your turn.

This 60-day journal provides daily questions in four basic categories to prime your imagination and get the ink flowing. At the end of the 60 days, write your own manifesto. It can be serious or silly, goal-oriented or go-with-the-flow. That’s the thing. It’s all about you. So have fun, and figure a few things out along the way.

Can a relationship with a bully help you discover who you really are? Will it help you summon the courage to break free, or will you lose yourself in someone else’s version of you?

Take Rachel for example. She’s 17, loves her 18-year-old boyfriend, Hugh. There’s one big thing Hugh has to change about her, though: she’s a virgin.

What’s she going to do about that?

RACHEL’S MANIFESTO is a voyage of self-discovery in which Rachel’s opinionated friends, her frazzled single mother and her recurring dreams all play a role in this coming-of-age story.
