Luxmoore (psychotherapist, teacher, counselor, youth worker) has written what could be called a handbook for professionals and parents who deal with the sometimes hostile and anguished period young people go through as they work through establishing and ending boyfriend or girlfriend relationships. In doing so, he explores how young people move away from intimate relationships with their parents to relationships with boyfriends and girlfriends. Essentially, the book is about how young people both love and hate. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
