| Publisher Description: Dorothy's husband vanishes when her son. Malachi, is very young while Danielle's husband is killed by a drunk driver; leaving her a widow with her son, Jacob, to raise alone. Both women fear their sons will follow the path of others in their urban community and end up in a gang, on drugs, involved in crime or in jail. They both often feel the responsibility of raising a son alone is almost an impossible task. For Dorothy there is a lot of resentment because Malachi's father went on to raise a new family. Danielle on the other hand is depressed and grief-stricken because she has never stopped missing her husband. But it must be done and though they were both raised by a firm hand, only one of them chose to continue to use discipline in their own home, while the other felt as though reasoning with her son and trust should be enough to get them through anything. Find out which worked, if either, because at the end of the day, one of the boys STILL ended up in jail and Even one of the sisters |
