Description	Sonya Sones discusses her book, "What My Mother Doesn't Know." The story is about a Jewish teenage girl, Sophie, who is 14.5 years old. Sophie has two friends named Rachel and Grace and have been friends with them since the third grade. Sophie is an only child who is ignored by her mother who watches soap operas all day and yearns for attention from her mother. Sones says that many of the instances in the book are autobiographical. She describes many experiences in Sophie's life such as being picked up at her home by her boyfriend and meeting her boyfriend's mother. When Sophie meets his mother, she is turned off after his mother uses a disparaging remark about Jews, and her boyfriend barely reacts to it. The book is written substantially in verse, and Sones describes what influenced her to write in that style.
