Seven essays from the heart.
“When I was sixteen years old, I had secrets, all right. But my secrets were not exactly my own; they were the secrets of others.” So writes Nan Germaine in Perfectly Secret, Susan Musgrave’s fourth collection of essays written by women writers about their teenage lives.
Nan remembers the loneliness of enduring her parent’s secret confessions: her mother’s unhappiness and her father’s infidelity. For Anita Rau Badami, a mad aunt was her hidden shame. Meanwhile, a drunken father meant Lorna Crozier could never invite her friends home. And Cathy Stonehouse, who lived her life in fragments, found her secret self-threatened in a not-so-innocent game of Truth or Dare.
Heartfelt, disarmingly honest, at times painful, these essays eloquently capture the reality of adolescent life. Perfectly Secret is a testament to the axiom that life isn’t always as it appears.

When something major occurs in your life, you are never the same again. In Nerves Out Loud, seven women writers share pivotal moments from their teen years, concentrating on an event or series of events that changed their lives and turned them in a new direction. By telling their stories passionately and fearlessly, these authors encourage young women everywhere to grab their youth and their sense of self and hold on tight as they examine who they are.
Told in each woman’s unique voice, these stories are conveyed sometimes with humor and sometimes with terror, but each with a sense of urgency and honesty. Susan Musgrave, the series editor’s, Going Crazy, Wanna Come? invites readers into her wild teen years on the run — from school, to California, from a mental hospital. With the help of other writers, she realizes she isn’t crazy — she’s a poet.

Why have so many writers chosen to dedicate poems to Patrick Lane over the years? This phenomenon fascinated Susan Musgrave long before she got the idea of collecting the best of the poems in a single anthology, which happily came together in conjunction with Lane’s 55th birthday.
