Daddy's Good Girl


Book Description

What do you do when the man who was supposed to protect you is the one who caused you the most harm? That's the reality that Icess Kingston had been living since she was eight years old. The day her mother married her step father Kenyon was the day he turned her into daddy's good girl. In his eyes she was made for him and he made sure that she knew it. All innocence was lost but Icess was determined to gain it back even if that meant she had to betray him by jumping into the beds of other men. But the more she chased the control she was seeking the more out of control she became, that is until God stepped in. Genesis Sekibo a native of Kenya and the cousin to her best friend’s boyfriend enters her life and instantly feels like she could be the one for him. The more time they spend together the more he realized just how broken she is and he can only think of one thing to do for her. Pray. Genesis knows she has demons that she is battling but has no idea just how strong they are. Will those revelations cause him to no longer be interested and question if he is really hearing God’s voice? Or will he break through that barrier and show her whose daughter she truly is? When your spirit is being broken by someone that should protect you sometimes we find comfort in the things and people that we shouldn’t. Some turn to drugs and alcohol while others turn to the wrong people and habits. Life can throw us some unfair curveballs and we think that God is punishing us instead of using those obstacles to push us into our destinies. Enter into the complicated life of Icess as she deals with the hell within herself and Genesis as he does his best to love that hell out of her.

The Boy Crisis


Book Description

What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. Worldwide, boys are 50 percent less likely than girls to meet basic proficiency in reading, math, and science. It's a crisis of mental health. ADHD is on the rise. And as boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of fathering. Boys are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison. It's a crisis of purpose. Boys' old sense of purpose—being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner—are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void," feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to help our sons become happier, healthier men, and fathers and leaders worthy of our respect.
