The current theoretical analyses of the parity nonconserving (PNC) experiments in light nuclei fail to provide a consistent description of the experimental data for [sup 18]F, [sup 19]F, and [sup 21]Ne. We perform a piecewise'' analysis of the PNC matrix elements in the 0[ital p][sub 1/2]-0[ital d][sub 5/2]-1[ital s][sub 1/2] model space and show that by using a proper overall normalization of the isoscalar and isovector parts we can consistently describe all three PNC experimental data. New calculations are also presented for the [ital s]-[ital p]-[ital sd]-[ital pf] model space which support our analysis.
