Reviews
"Written with the kindness and honesty of a big sister, the candor of a best friend, and the humility and grace of one whose heart points us to the One who saved her from all the dragons." --Sissy Goff "Melanie is living proof that a healthy family can come from you, even if you don't come from a healthy family." --Kari Kampakis, "Looking back on my thirty years of counseling girls and families, I believe it's never been harder to be a girl--or to raise one. Much of the difficulty results from what our girls are encountering, and much stems from what we encountered--or didn't--during our own growing-up years. Raising a teenager to be emotionally and socially healthy can feel like a daunting and insurmountable task--since we didn't have a road map to achieve this ourselves. But it doesn't have to be, especially if we have friends a little farther down the road, who are willing to be honest about their own fears and failings, as well as the truth and hope they've found along the way. Melanie Shankle is such a friend. Here Be Dragons is written with the kindness and honesty of a big sister, the candor of a best friend, and the humility and grace of one whose heart is to point us to the One who has saved her from all the dragons." --Sissy Goff, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP, executive director of Daystar Counseling and bestselling author of The Worry-Free Parent "Girl moms have waited a long time for this guidance, and Melanie Shankle delivers it with integrity, wisdom, and perfectly timed humor. How do you handle mean girls without becoming one too? How do you rise above the childhood trauma inflicted by your own mother? In an age in which many families must navigate toxic relationships--inside their home and outside it, too--this book offers clarity, hope, and a carefully discerned road map on how best to move forward. Melanie is living proof that a healthy family can come from you, even if you don't come from a healthy family--and that peace is possible when God is your guide. I found myself crying and cheering for Melanie and her daughter as they learned to stand up for themselves, stop the mean-girl cycle, and still choose kindness. The generational impact of Here Be Dragons can't be overstated." --Kari Kampakis, author of Love Her Well and host of the Girl Mom podcast "It's no secret that Melanie and I are close friends--we've done a podcast together for an obnoxious number of years, after all--and that is how I know that this isn't the book Melanie intended to write. She planned to write primarily about the importance of healing, without focusing too much on the pain of the breaking. But as Melanie started to unearth the layers of her own story, it was clear to those of us who know her best that the Lord was giving her fresh compassion, not just for what she experienced in her own family but also for the ways generational wounds can linger in so many of our lives. Melanie responded to this compassion with courage and candor, and as a result, you are going to see a side of her life you have likely not known before. While it may break your heart a little bit, this book will also make you laugh, will challenge you, and will point you again and again to the Source of our hope and redemption. Here Be Dragons is Melanie's very best writing to date: honest, tender, and full of hope. I'm so proud of her for sharing this part of her story. We're so fortunate that we get to read it." --Sophie Hudson, co-host of The Big Boo Cast and bestselling author of A Fine Sight to See
Synopsis
Mean girls, dramatic breakups, and constant struggles with self-worth-sometimes all within a single day. As a mom, you might be wishing you had a map for navigating these unpredictable teenage years, something to let you know the dragons and dangers lurking just ahead. Bestselling author Melanie Shankle offers a heartfelt-and aptly humorous-guide in Here Be Dragons. With deep insight and empathy, she shows how confronting your own dragons empowers you to help your daughter face hers. Melanie takes you through her candid exploration of past struggles and generational wounds that shaped her approach to parenting, Confronting and overcoming her own trauma enabled her to become the strong, loving presence her daughter needed. Here Be Dragons is an encouraging source of inspiration, camaraderie, and practical advice for those feeling overwhelmed by the uncharted waters of raising a teenager. It's a road map to thriving amid the chaos and trusting God to transform you into a healthier woman, mom, wife, and friend. You'll laugh, cry, and find solidarity in Melanie's transformative journey as you embrace your own path toward building an unbreakable mother-daughter bond and a more empowered future together., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the author of Nobody's Cuter than You comes a poignant, deeply personal story about trusting God to heal generational wounds so you can be a strong, loving presence for your teenage daughter. In medieval times, uncharted waters were marked on maps as Here Be Dragons to signify that no one knew what dangers might lie ahead. Melanie Shankle quips that the years spent raising our teenage daughters could be labeled the same due to the uncertainties before us. Like a lot of moms, Melanie found herself in need of a parenting map when her teenage daughter, Caroline, entered her sophomore year of high school where she encountered relentless mean girls and brutal heartache. While trying to equip her daughter to deal with the toxic social dynamics of high school, Melanie was hit with a cruel realization: The shame, criticism, and verbal abuse she had endured throughout her own life was wrought by one particular mean girl--her own mother. Melanie hoped to raise her daughter to be a warrior, and she realized she couldn't do that unless she became healthy enough to fight her own dragons. She invites you into her story as she explores her complex family dynamics, discovering what it takes for any of us to survive and ultimately thrive in spite of wounds that remain. This was the beginning of her journey of trusting God to help break generational cycles that had told the women in her family to find their value in everything but His love. Filled with personal stories and written in the same whimsical and honest style Melanie is known for, Here Be Dragons will have you both laughing out loud and crying--sometimes on the same page--as you confront the challenges of raising your own strong, independent daughter while fighting dragons along the way.
