Ahns Awakening is a fictional account of a prehistoric girl in North America. Ahn, her grandmother, and two uncles are walking through the forest when Ahn begins to notice the monumental changes in her physical body and in her soul that come with a girls first menstrual period. Pre-teen girls will find blank lines on the left-hand side of the pages where they can journal their response to the fictional account of a life lived in close harmony with our natural world. Adult mentors and mothers will appreciate the guidance found at the end of the story. These questions, suggestions, and prompts to explore their own first menstrual stories will inspire them to turn the talk into an ongoing conversation. Ahns Awakening ends with a ritual that may help adult mentors and mothers see the sacred nature of our bodies natural functions and how they interconnect with our souls journeys.
