STAGE PLAYS
The Locket
Dr. Holstein has also brought her extensive psychological and coming of age material to the world via a staged play called 'The Locket' based on her two books for girls, 'The Truth' and 'Secrets'. Both books tell in diary form the struggles and successes a girl goes through as she becomes a tween and then a teen. When Dr. Holstein turned the books into a play and added a character who is "the girl" as a grownup. This allowed the play version to make clear how wise and helpful people can be even when they are just growing up.
