Whitney Joiner

Marfa author Whitney Joiner discusses her new book, The Drama Years. The book aims to help parents of middle school girls navigate the tough tween years. Joiner wrote the book with Haley Kilpatrick, whose own turbulent middle school experience inspired Girl Talk. It's a nonprofit organization in which high school mentors offer a “just been there” perspective to tween girls, helping them build self-esteem and develop leadership skills.
