In the Midst of Drugs, Violence and Abuse, How To Raise Productive Children in an Unhealthy Environment will give you strategies to help you raise your children to be integral and to have standards, morals and values. Being a mother of three grown productive children, Tracey L. Ricks shares some of her life with us, while actively showing us that it can be done, because she already did it! Dealing with her own private struggles of drug addiction, physical abuse and divorce, Tracey shows us that no matter what situation or circumstance you may be dealing with, as long as you love and support your children you can overcome any obstacle and so can they! It is said that "nothing good comes out of the projects", but from the projects in the Bronx, New York came all three of Tracey's children. Two of them are currently active military members, and the other one is a military veteran in good standing. A lawyer, a linguist and a business manager that somewhat had the odds stacked against them, but by prayer, love and support they were able to overcome! If you have children, are thinking about having children, or know of someone that has children, then this book is a must read! It is so important to begin to nurture and cultivate your children when they are young. Children live what they learn, so it would behoove you to allow them to learn the right things! This book is absolutely going to bless your life, and while it is blessing you, bless someone that you know with a copy so that it can bless them too!
