This book is written to fathers who want to be involved in the lives of their sons but are separated from them. That separation could be as a result of divorce, separation, or from a relationship that is no longer intact for whatever reason. I am going to share my story with you and what I did about the one thing I could control or influence ... and that was ME. Every story is unique, my experience may be different from yours but there are some basic truths that I believe are universal.

This book is for women who find themselves in a relationship with a man who was raised without the presence of a STRONG HEALTHY father or father figure. Most men who were raised by a mother have some Momma's Boy characteristics, this book will help you to identify and deal with some of the unhealthy traits of a Momma's Boy. Learn how to support him without enabling him. Discover ways to help him open up and share what he feels before it becomes a crisis. Develop ways to help him make you and your family a priority in his life.

When I was first inspired to write this book I had no clue on how many lives it would touch. I'm so glad that I allowed myself to be challenged by a very dear friend to put pen to paper and release the first edition. Since the initial release I have been completely humbled by the comments from so many mothers who couldn't say thank you enough to me for providing them with an inside view on how boys think and respond to being raised without a father. Through my personal experience and the experiences of others I have been able to expose many of the pitfalls that mothers fall into when raising their sons alone. I never would have imagined that men would comment on the book they way they have. From them being able to identify with the material personally to being able to recognize why their sons are the way they are. Men have been able to admit that even though they may be in the home, their lack of involvement in the lives of their sons has produced a "Momma's Boy." This is not a book just for mothers but for all parents of sons. In response to the many comments I've received I am releasing the 2nd edition of "How To Raise A Man.. Not A Momma's Boy" which highlights some of the key points that when embraced and applied will help you to raise your son successfully. My hope is that you do more than read this book, but apply it. This book is for parents who's goal is to better understand their sons and do their best to raise their sons to become healthy men.
