"Doris Kieser offers refreshing insight into the intersection of Catholic sexual theology and the lived experience of female adolescents. Kieser's work with teenagers addresses a notable lacuna in the Catholic Church's sexual theology, ... In her adolescent female sexual ethic, Kieser lays the necessary groundwork for what ought well prove to be a rich field for further theological ethical reflection. This text will prove to be an excellent resource in high school, seminary, and university courses." -- Christine McCarthy -- Horizons: The Journal of the College Theology Society
