should be filled with drama, and there’s a blueprint for parents to follow for order
in the home. It’s been quite awhile since reading a book of this magnitude where
addressing truths that we all should adhere to when dealing with youths.
Moreover, as adults we should extrapolate a sense of urgency steering our kids
in the right direction. There’s something to say when one knows how to play on
words. To wit: ‘A Dog That Will Bring a Bone Will Carry A Bone’; ‘Travel, Travel,
Travel’; ‘Stuck in Review View--Looking Back’; ‘Release and Increase, Access
Granted’; ‘Gonna is Gone’; ‘Don't Hit The Brakes and Go with the Flow’. True to an
interesting way to illustrate her points, the author introduced each chapter with
different ways to look at issues, be it adolescent or adult absorbing double
messages, but single in scope.
No life should be peppered with unnecessary drama, and there’s ample
tidbits of counsel intersperse throughout for attention-grabbing resolve. Daily
words of wisdom for teens and young adults regarding the dangers and
ramifications of sex, dating, and a host of other ill-advised behavior are listed with
intrinsic value. Key to interpreting and administering golden nuggets are basic
ways to protect yourself from being victimized sexually and from other dubious
intent. But questions abound that force you to be mindful of the counsel she
dispenses. What can be done to use discernible options for protection? How can
parents instill all of the disciplinary actions within the home first without the
community educating their children? Then there’s the procrastination that all of us
are prone to from time to time… and the author gives a good analogy of it in the
chapter, ‘Gonna Is Gone’. Because the author has a pedigree perfecting a model
for contingency, there’s no reason why one more book, one more lecture, one
more parenting conference, and even more reasons for accountability, why it’s so
important not to let impotence prevail. Need I say more? Get this book, digest it,
and impose on others the need for them to encourage others to buy it! Dr. Jeri A.
