Book excerpt: Inspiring and uplifting, "I Am" is a collection of short stories for teenage girls. It can be tough being the new kid at school or always feeling fat or having a sibling who is smarter and prettier than you. These are some of the issues that Arianna, Jasleen, Mia, and other characters in this collection of short stories find themselves dealing with. Complicating these issues is the fact that often parents just don't understand teenagers. And as one of the girls discovers, peer pressure can lead to negative or tragic consequences. How do teenage girls find answers to life's challenges? One way is to learn from others experiences and mistakes. "I Am" provides nine unique stories that provide important life lessons filled with drama, angst and loss. Each of the stories has a different main character, and each faces their own unique struggles while learning important lessons about themselves and life. The stories are written with humor and powerful language, yet the messages are deep and inspiring. Every teenage girl will find a story that they can personally relate to. Some of the characters live in a city while others small towns. Some come from financially well off families, others middle class while others are much less fortunate. Some of the girls have strong family relationships, while others have to cope with their distant relationships. There is a light in every story that helps the characters discover important values and overcome their fears. A teenager herself, Author Ashleigh Morgan brings a welcomed authenticity and raw honesty to each story that always ends in resolution, inspiration, and insight, even if it takes some time for the characters in their struggles to get there. For the young adult trying to make sense of the world around them, "I Am" is filled with people and challenges they will recognize, offer solutions to complicated problems and is an important reminder that even when we think we are alone, afraid or confused, there is an answer for every problem.
