“Where the conversation stopped,
“Books brought us back together.”

“The moment we read a sentence together,
“The passage to the child’s world has opened.”

To parents who hesitate before their children visit,
The first knock from 'Reading Together'

Puberty is a time that comes unexpectedly to every family, and sometimes it suddenly widens the gap between parents and children.
“Adolescence, Us Reconnected Through Books” starts from that very point.
Times when children are locked in their rooms, conversations become short and concise, and parents just hesitate at the door.
The author recorded the moment when, in the midst of that despair, he began to reconnect with his daughter through 'a book'.

In the prologue, the author confesses that she began a conversation with her daughter while reading "The Origin of Happiness," and that this was the "ladder" that was placed again between the mother and daughter.
As the saying goes, this book proves that reading is not just a simple learning process, but the safest bridge to overcome the rough emotions of adolescence and parental anxiety.
The mother and daughter's discussion about the characters in "Pachinko" and the moments when a single sentence from the book relieves the tension of the entire family are scenes that any family going through puberty can deeply relate to.

"Adolescence: Reconnecting Us Through Books" is a practical encouragement not only for parents of adolescent children, but also for all readers who want to mend the rift in their relationships.
Parents reach out to their children to understand them, but ultimately, through that journey, they themselves grow and are reborn as stronger adults.
Through this book, we will encounter the process of both parents and children growing into more mature individuals, overcoming the rift in their relationship.
