On a winter night at a prestigious New England boarding school, two teenage girls compared secret love letters male teachers had written them. One girl kept a journal and recorded the events that followed. The other, years later, took her own life.

When her own daughter was 16, Kathleen Buckstaff, author and former Los Angeles Times columnist, developed severe stomach pain and within a few months lost thirty pounds. Doctors eventually determined she was suffering from PTSD. As she reviewed her old journals, Kathleen had to face painful truths. When she discovered the two teachers were still teaching, she felt obligated to do everything possible to protect current students.

Kathleen interviewed over 60 college students, recent graduates, healthcare professionals, self-defense instructors, and professors. In letters to a teenage girl, Kathleen revisits the events that changed her life and the lives of her closest friends, drawing from her interviews to describe what she wishes she had known about sex, predators, self-defense, and love.

Get Savvy also includes a journal section with reflection questions, in which Kathleen offers a practice of self-love, kindness, and respect, and encourages the reader to take time to get to know herself.

Get Savvy can be used as a reference book in Health and Sexuality education classes. It covers bullying, resisting peer pressure and how to create positive social alliances. Get Savvy also addresses what to say to someone who has been sexually assaulted or raped; how to identify an abusive relationship; what to say to someone who is depressed and may be suicidal; what to say to someone who may have an eating disorder. Get Savvy covers how to ask someone on a date; how to talk about sexual boundaries; what consent looks like; how to identify predatory behavior; verbal language around self-defense; how to intervene and help as a bystander; bystander training; and how to get help for oneself or a friend who is suffering from PTSD, mental illness, or sexual trauma. Get Savvy specifically deals with suicide prevention and lists warning signs and prevention strategies.

Get Savvy also includes mindfulness training, the cultivation of compassion and healthy boundaries, and encourages the exploration of one's inner guide, gifts, and goals. Get Savvy teaches self-love, respect and resilience. It is a resource tool for teens, both male and female, parents, educators, healthcare providers and community leaders.

It is astonishing to learn that Buckstaff didn't start out intending to share her own story of sexual trauma. Her courage in confronting this deeply damaging personal experience is what brings cohesion to the 60-plus exhaustive interviews she conducted to create this powerful, unsettling but ultimately inspiring and affirming book. Though intended to help teenage girls navigate sex and love, Get Savvy is a blueprint for recovery that offers hope to anyone at any age who has experienced any kind of emotional trauma. -Karen Barr

Great product and I will buy again
Use this product and your skin will be soft. My feet are alligator tough and this helps them immensely if I leave it on over night in socks. Even my toes are rough. This makes it so much better. Be consistent. This size was industrial strength !

Very thin, smells great but nowhere near the heavy original Nivea
I wanted to try this instead of the thick heavy original Nivea cream that I love using at night, mostly for my hands but also face and all body. This one is a great cream, very fast absorbent, beautiful smell, etc. but my hands are dry after like two minutes. I know it's not for hands but I was expecting similar power like the heavy stuff. If you are looking for comparison with Nivea Soft, then Nivea Soft is actually a little thicker and slower to absorb than this one. Just slightly but it seems so to me. It's still a great cream, just nowhere near the original thick kind.
