I enjoyed this read

I like that the advice was very realistic and practical. I could really tell a lot of what she said. I’m gonna listen to this second time I have children, I have all boys and I need all the encouragement I can get, so that they can be strong man I know years to come.

What a wonderful book!

After 14 years of marriage, I found myself in the new roll of Single Mother. With my oldest daughter away at school I found myself alone struggling to give me son what I thought he needed. THANK YOU for sharing your story! I found it at the perfect time and now have such a broader perspective on how I CAN love, support, encourage and accept my son for who he is. Thank u!

Relevant and useful

I appreciate you guidance as a mother from a perspective I will be in 20 years from now. Your vulnerability was important to me to help me understand that my path will be challenging and will help provide perspective along my journey. Thank you for sharing your experience.
