Book Cover & Preview Text
At 15 and 41 (we were actually 13 and 39 when we began the process of writing this book); we are at a peculiar place. Niya is the princess of the wonderful world of the teenager, and I am working 41 in a more excellent way! So far we’ve survived everything from diapers to potty training, breastfeeding to table food, first words to high school, employment and unemployement, failed relationships and new relationships, from boys are yucky to boys are at least human to boys are CUTE, success and failures, life and death - and we still have a long way to go.
The book that you now hold is our story. It is designed to give insight on how we are "doing this life thing together." The topics that we've selected to share are those most prevalent in our lives at this moment in time. Training up a child in the way they should go is all inclusive. The command includes more than just spiritual principles, but ways to successfully handle practical, everyday life situations. In this book we will speak freely and candidly about our feelings, thoughts and actions (positive or negative), what we've learned from living through these topics, and what we are striving to change or perfect moving forward.
We were destined to write this book. Our relationship inspires people everywhere that we go. From the gym to the movie theatre, in the states and on other continents, in person and through social media, people are genuinely amazed at our connection. They want to know more about our journey, proving to us that writing this book is NECESSARY.
So welcome! Our prayer is that our journey helps to build bridges, gives insight, plants seeds of hope, and that is gives strength to those in need.
-MarQuita and Niya
