    How to use «Coming of age» in context?

    No one ever really knows the day or age when life begins. For some, it may seem sudden when they first learn to walk or talk. For others, it may be a gradual process that unfolds over time. And for still others, it may creep up on them unexpectedly. In any case, each person’s coming of age is unique and unforgettable.

    For Brigid, it was the day she turned thirteen. It was also the day she learned she was a witch. Brigid had always known she was different from other girls. She had a gift for sensing things far beyond the ordinary.
