Sometimes it seemed as if I was living in a single parent home, but that wasn’t the case at all. My book let's families understand that even when you try to do the right things in life; your life will still be filled with many obstacles, struggles and surprises. One can never look at the problem and throw their hands up. Always work toward a solution. Magdaline's parents were determine not to be defeated in their marriage of over 40 years. She was motivated by their marriage, that it takes patience, determination, self-control and commitment to reach her goals in life   Excerpt My mother married at the age of 15 to my stepfather and 7 of my siblings were born. After he passed away, she met my dad, who had 8 kids, and they got married. Within their marriage 2 more kids were born; my brother and I. Momma always explained to us that no two people are alike, that one person may need more help in some areas than others and we should always go the extra mile to help the one that's less fortunate; whether it be mentally or financially. The role of motherhood became different for me after my daughter finished high school. Where I was making most of her decisions, now she would be making choices for herself. I’ve always held a job, but was never satisfied with the amount of pay I received. I’ve worked 32 years for someone else to only receive the smallest retirement.

I enjoyed reading this book
I enjoyed reading this book!!! I came away from the book inspired by the bond of a "blended" family started by the patriarch and matriarch and how it has continued through the generations to this present day. GREAT JOB, Mildred!!!

I really enjoyed this book
Wow!!! I really enjoyed this book. The book shows just how much love a family should have. I can't wait to read the next book. A blended family that have so much love. Your writing this book was a great idea and I'm sure you have more in store for us in the future! Loved it!!

Great book!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It inspires all individuals, especially women to face the challenges of life with faith and determination. Many successful people are not born with a "silver spoon" in their mouths but that doesn't prevent them from accomplishing their goals. I look forward to reading Mildred Stallworth's next book and I recommend this book to all mothers, stepmothers, fathers, stepfathers, grandparents, and anyone who needs to be reminded of the love that God has for all of his children.
