Leaving my niece’s sweet 16 party last month, I was struck by how meaningful that age is for a young woman. It’s a terribly precarious age and an emotionally vulnerable time. It requires a great deal of love and support to navigate those rocky, adolescent years. I wasn’t sure my gift was the most relevant, but I think she liked it — a simple locket. As I turned the corner, I couldn’t help but travel down memory lane and recall that seminal film that has since become something of a cultural touchstone, SIXTEEN CANDLES.
