This work serves as a model for scholarly communication in which multiple voices are acknowledged as valid; the worth of one perspective is not measured by the denigration of another, and difference is celebrated as conducive to learning rather than threatening to it.

Unmasking the lies teenagers tend to believe, like "I must have choices," the book majors on truth, acknowledging that Truth alone brings contentment, freedom, and success"--
