Dear Editor/Producer:

Imagine the aching agony of a mother whose deepest desire is to be with her newborn child, but instead of fulfilling that longing, the mother is forced to work full-time outside of the home. Her financial house is not in order, and she has no idea just how to get it into order. The guilt and despair she feels is unimaginable. Each day at the office is filled with unhappiness, as she drops her precious baby off at daycare, knowing she will be missing out on the major milestones of her child’s life. The first smile--the first step--the first words-- will all occur while she is somewhere she truly does not want to be -- away. She is a woman begrudgingly torn between two worlds. Today in America, there are thousands of mothers just like the one described above. How can these women fulfill the longings of their hearts? Can these women successfully make the intimidating journey from the cubicle to the cradle? RAISING YOUR OWN CHILDREN: A Guide for Stay-at-Home Mom Wanna-be’s, by mother of four and part-time business owner, Carey Keavy (November 2004, softcover, $10.00, ISBN:1-4134-4339-7) whimsically addresses the issues facing these very types of women, and offers them the tools needed to easily make their transition from work to home.

Humorously tackling the financial arena from a uniquely female point of view, RAISING YOUR OWN CHILDREN will give women the ability to create the family life they’ve desired by helping them to:

1. Create a plan to quit their full-time job to be home with the kids.
2. Realize the impact of their roles as mothers on future generations.
3. Find the money they’ve been squandering away without even knowing it.
4. Simplify their financial lives and free themselves from the disease of materialism.
5. Explore the idea of starting a home-based business.
6. Learn creative new ways to stretch their money.

Mothers are facing the issues addressed in this book each and every single day in our country. This book is absolutely relevant and needed in our American culture which tends to place its focus on material rather than relational needs. RAISING YOUR OWN CHILDREN has the ability to set the reader free from mindsets which enslave them in lifestyles they would really rather opt out of, but have just not known how to.

Sincerely,
