environment?

react to situations the way that we do.

Learn
from the pages of life in a poor, rural, Alabama family. Come
along and share the heartache and triumphs of finding significance, being a
good parent and rewriting the story of your life.
Share
the story of life in the South, including colorful characters, fun and
adventure, and those defining moments that we all face in our lives. In too many cases, we do not respond to those
defining moments in a way that produces a self-concept that is healthy and
true. Many precious years can be
wasted. Maybe this is your story as
well.
These
are not the ramblings of a psychologist, the clinical diagnosis of a doctor nor
the thesis of an accomplished scholar.
Any advice that you glean from this book has not been tested against a focus
group or written up in a medical journal.
But it has been proven in one person’s simple journey.
