This is a classic coming of age book for young girls. My Mom gave it to me when I was starting puberty and maybe someday I’ll give it to my future daughter. Although I read the original version which meant it was a little outdated, it was still a great introduction to growing up as a girl. I don’t actually remember there being much about God or religion in it. “God” serves more as Margaret’s diary, a way to work things out in her head and heart.
