5 out of 5 books
This is my first time reading a book by Author Ben Burgess Jr. I was completely engrossed in this story. Juanita had a happy family until her husband was shot outside a store. Their lives changed drastically. They went from having enough to just making ends meet. As a newly single mother trying to navigate raising two sons, one of whom blames her for the death of their father and is determined to punish her.
Just when she thought that things couldn’t get any worse, Jerami, her youngest son, was diagnosed with cancer. The time she needed to care for him only drove a deeper wedge of separation between her and Jalen. It was Jalen’s invitation to the street life with his neighbor and friend Akeem. Juanita has vowed to prioritize her boys in every area of her life.
Tracy and Debbie became best friends with Juanita and they created a village. They would need one another more than ever as the streets and the police threatened to destroy their sons. Each of the moms faced their own individual crises yet it only brought them closer together. Even when tragedy struck one of their own, they were never alone.
A Mother’s Love is the greatest love one can have other than from God and their fathers. I recommend this book to anyone who is raising brown boys single-handedly.
