Customer Reviews

An excellent addition to parenting & Black Studies lists.

In Raising Up Queens, author Esther Davis-Thompson lays a foundation for mothering African-American daughters which is personal, spiritual, inspirational, and responsible. Through chapters that move the reader from Pain to Healing, from Fear to Courage, from Despair to belief, Raising Up Queens will enable the reader to get at the core of what it is to bring up their daughters to truly realize their personal and spiritual potential; to survive the crisis of violence and social neglect that so hallmark today's society; to enhance judgement and life-goal planning; and to become superlative adults and loving mothers in their own time. Raising Up Queens is an excellent and timely addition to parenting and Black Studies reading lists and reference collections.
