Aspen shows us how any girl-even the once lost and disempowered-can transform herself and become the director of her own life. -- ""Caity Lotz, actress, award-winning AMC show Mad Men"" Aspen Matis reveals wisdoms that are gems-bright and inspiring. This book will astonish you. -- ""Shelly Oria, author of New York 1, Tel Aviv 0"" Beautiful and so wildly engaging. -- ""Lena Dunham"" Brave and poetic. Aspen Matis is one of the few genetic writers. -- ""Ben Folds, musician"" Soulful, heartfelt, and transcendent. Girl in the Woods teaches us that writing is a way to heal, empower ourselves, and turn our worst experiences into beautiful art. -- ""Kenan Trebincevic, author of The Bosnia List"" This is a very brave book-because there is an open wound in Girl in the Woods, and it never really closes. It becomes a new organ-of doubt, questioning-that remakes both the body and the mind. -- ""Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone critic and New York Times bestselling author"""
