About this listen
In this honest and touching memoir, author Donita Chanel relates her experiences raising two sons on her own and imparts the lessons she learned, successes she experienced, and the knowledge that even in difficult situations, laughter is still possible.
Though she firmly believes a two-parent household is best and that a father figure is of utmost importance in the rearing of young men, a woman can certainly be successful in raising her sons to be honest, thoughtful, successful, and well-rounded men. She hopes that by sharing her story, other women will feel empowered and confident in their ability to raise their sons into men.
