Good book!

I never submit reviews but I really felt led to do it with this book. My sister recommended this book to me because I have two college aged sons who are are setting out on their own journeys. Many of the points that are discussed in the book are points that I have tried to make with my kids. I have approached the subjects from more of a tradional viewpoint. She appoaches from more of a New Age viewpoint. Maybe between the two approaches, one of us can speak the words that they can understand and help them avoid some pitfalls that could mess up their lives. The main thing that I want to point out is that this is a must read for parents of young children. The points that Fanny Webb make to her son about raising his daughter is 'spot on'. It is things that can only be gained by having raised a child. Its things that I missed while going thru the chaos of child rearing. This book can reduce the drama that young parents experience and greatly reduce it for the child! Read it again when they reach their teens. Read it when you have grandchildren. I wish I had read it sooner.

What a refreshing book. A book that youth needs to read. It is easy reading, and your finished reading the book before you know it. I finished the book in one reading. I like the way Ms. Webb told it the way it is....a good read. Debbie Gerakios

This book is based on real life wisdom gained while raising a son. For most of her son's life the author did it alone. Her motivation for writing is her sincere desire to help young men deal with common problems. Of course, not every possible problem can be dealt with in a book. The advice and philosophy contained in this book is concentrated and direct. I wish somebody had given me such advice ( any advice really) when I was the age this book is intended for. A man my age has come by most of this wisdom naturally, through trial and error. However, if some of the pain could have been avoided through well thought out advice, I would have gladly taken it. Perhaps the greatest value of this book will be as a starting point for discussions between parents and their sons.
