It is cheesy at times, but is good to cover the bases and talking about sex with your children. I also appreciated the fact that it kept weaving in the message of sex of for married couples. I like how it's laid out. It's basically in coversation form if you and your child were to have the perfect conversation about sex. There were times my daughter and I laughed at how the conversations were written (super cheesy) but the content was a good start if you are nervouse about talking sex with your child. My daughter did inform me that she wanted to wait quite a while before we read Book 4 in this series....more

I couldn't even get through the prologue or the dedications without crying. Towards the end, it went through some of her blogging, which was good, but had me wonder how she was going to tie the book up. How she chose to finish it with the meaning of her daughter's name was perfect!! My husband thought it was funny to send the kids into the room where I read and ask them to report back to them if mommy was crying from that book again. I, however, did not see the humour in that. It also helped me to see my children in a refreshed, thankful way....more
First, I'm a little biased because I know both the author and Donnie Foster, who this story is written about. The first half of the book is VERY hard First, I'm a little biased because I know both the author and Donnie Foster, who this story is written about. The first half of the book is VERY hard to read. I had to stop multiple times due to a heavy heart and from crying from the sadness. However, the hope I knew that was found in the ending spurred me on to continue to read to the end. It also really opened my eyes to a lot of the drug world that I've never been exposed to. If you are having a hard time getting through the sad parts, I encourage to you keep reading. It is worth it and leaves you with with a feeling of hope....more
