ABSTRACT

As soon as I received the contract to write this book, I started to research parenting. I bought a stack of books and read as much as I could. (Thank you, Amazon Prime!) I’m also an actual parent. I’m the biological mom to an 11-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl. And I’m the bonus mom to a 9-year-old boy, 16-year-old girl, 20-year-old boy/man, and 22-year-old boy/man. If you’ve been counting, that means I have six children: four boys and two girls—plus a rotation of dogs.
