Secret Diary Unlocked: My Struggle to Like Me

by Suzy Weibel

As part of the team at Pure Freedom, Suzy Weibel has read her diary entries to 'tween and teen girls all over the world. When she does, something deep and freeing happens: they totally identify with her seventh grade diary of self-disclosure and self-deprecation, and come away trusting what Suzy found. Suzy Weibel is funny, yet thoughtful, and represents the sporty side of girlhood. The book itself is a feast to the eyes and catches the essence of a girl's struggle to like herself.

When she was 13-years-old Suzy Weibel wanted better hair. She couldn’t stop gushing about the man of her dreams (a new one each week). Her best friend betrayed her. Her mom didn’t understand what it was like to be a teenager… And she wrote it all down in her secret diary.
Suzy’s boy-crazy rants and her search for worth collided with her often transparent relationship with God. Her innate need for hope and healing led Suzy to write her deepest, most honest thoughts on these pages.

Then she grew up. And now Suzy reads her diary to you—so you can see that what used to be the end of the world is now just the beginning of the excitement . . .

“God wants to be first in our lives—whether we are thirteen, twenty, or forty years old, and regardless of our boyfriend status. He comes first.”

"You'll love this book. OK...so I wrote the foreword. Obviously I'd love it, but it's just that I got a sneak peak before you did. I loved the way that Suzy's 7th grade diary looks just like mine...and every womans! When I brought it home to my then 13 year old daughter, Lexi, I couldn't get her to take her nose out of it (and it wasn't like I was asking her to do the dishes!) You'll love it." - Dannah Gresh
