The Kid Chronicles is an anthology of short stories embedded in a novel. I wrote the book this way for a few reasons. First, I incorporated the short stories to entertain the reader while highlighting social issues. Each short story teaches a lesson that is relevant to the life of a pre-teen and teenager living in an urban area.     Secondly, the main story is aimed to heal mother-son relationships that have been fractured by the stress and strain of the son's misbehavior at school. Some urban schools are plagued with behavior problems that interfere with the learning process, and many educators and parents struggle with finding ways to address undesirable behavioral patterns at school.      The main story shows how a mother and son can maintain a healthy relationship or recharge the relationship after a setback. Mothers learn to support boys in making healthy choices at school.      Lastly, the short stories and the main story have content reflective of situations that many young people face, such as: coping after a tragedy, handling conflict with a classmate, managing grief, developing self-control and controlling impulsivity.       The book is full of violent situations, so it is imperative that parents or adults read the book before allowing young readers to read the book. Hopefully, the interaction between the mothers and sons will start healthy conversations that will bring healing and understanding.

As an educator in an urban area, I have frequently encountered females who have experienced abuse and neglect. There are many similarities in their stories: they were not believed when they first came forward, they did not get justice, and their lives were forever impacted by the experience.       ​I wrote The Life of the Honey Bee because it's important to share stories that highlight survival to teach and inspire the next generation.      Additionally, I wrote the story to show how generational curses and burdens can hinder and stifle people from growing and thriving in society. I hope readers can relate to the characters in the story. By God's grace this story will serve as a tool to support healing. I hope the story inspires readers to repair any fractured familial relationships, and engage in difficult conversations regarding sexual abuse.      Lastly, I hope the subject matter and content will intrigue and inspire young readers so much that they will want to read more stories. The book is short, so it won't intimidate reluctant readers. The subject matter is sensitive and of a mature nature, so it is imperative that parents read the book before letting young readers read the book.

A Lady Wears Pearls contains sexually explicit language and situations to inspire pure adult female fun. The characters and situations in, A Lady Wears Pearls, will inspire enjoyable, thought-provoking conversation for girl-talk or girls' night fun. The content of the book is intended to intrigue and entertain women in their down or quiet time. It is important that young children see their parents read for leisure to teach small children that literacy is an important and enjoyable part of life.     More importantly, A Lady Wears Pearls is a story of self-discovery and female spirituality. Also, the story features a healthy mother-daughter relationship that is nourished by honest and open communication. As a daughter who loves her mother and values all the things she taught me, I find the mother-daughter relationship to be important to the development of a young girl into a productive and wise woman. The main character and her daughter begin a new journey in their relationship. Lexington, the mother, bonds with Anniston as they talk about Lexington's journey of love (love of God, herself, her friends, and her husband). Lexington sits Anniston down to tell Anniston how Lexington came to be the wife and mother she is today. Anniston's love and admiration for her mother grow as she learns how Lexington dealt with various situations.
