Karlene Hunt was born in St Ann, Jamaica. Her family moved to the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  in 1983. In this book Karlene shares some of her life, personal problems and observations with us, but more importantly, she shares her inspiration which is grounded in her belief in God and the teachings of the Bible. Allow me to quote some from the back cover:

"How do you navigate a relationship through the rough patches? How can you raise your children to respect themselves and trust God? And how can you live the way God intended to you live? Hunt's advice is practical, inspirational in·spi·ra·tion·al  
adj.
1. Of or relating to inspiration.

2. Providing or intended to convey inspiration.

3. Resulting from inspiration.
 and right on target. Tune out inappropriate media. Nurture the body and soul with the right food and the right thinking. Parent so you produce children who will honor God, and always rely on the Bible as your ultimate teacher."

From this short paragraph, you can decide for yourself whether or not this book is for you.

As constructive criticism, I would suggest that Karlene have her book proofread and edited by a professional editor. In addition, as writing is a craft and writers work to hone their skills, I recommend she add the following three books to her writing tool box: The Chicago Manual of Style--15th edition, The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White and The Wordwatcher's Guide to Good Writing & Grammar by Morton S Morton, village (1990 pop. 13,799), Tazewell co., central Ill., in a grain-farming and livestock area; inc. 1877. Food is canned, and tractor parts, washing machines, and pottery are manufactured. . Freeman. Readers will forgive an error or two but soon lose patience with a writer who hasn't taken the time to study and learn the basics.
