"Chicken Pot Pie" is based upon a bold conversation in which a teenager asked her mother this blindsiding question, "How do you feel about premarital sex?"
That straightforward inquiry takes her mom back over twenty years to a time when her life turned upside down due to premarital mishaps. Never in a million years could she have imagined that those fun, thrilling, and spontaneous encounters would destroy her youth, taint her reputation, compromise her self-worth, and make life so complicated.
That devastating experience mixed with poverty and hopelessness was such a brutal teacher, she wanted nothing more than for her daughter to wait, but what good did its eye-opening lessons serve if she kept them tucked away?
This compelling quick read tells how this mother came up with a unique approach to encourage abstinence by courageously exposing her past. In doing so, she unleashes three riveting lessons that have the power to change an obstructive generational pattern called teen pregnancy.
This thought-provoking book invites mothers (whether they waited or not) into this discussion by encouraging them to share their insight. Insight, desperately needed in a hypersexual world, that can save our young daughters from the consequences of overstepping this moral boundary.
So, how does "Chicken Pot Pie" fit into the conversation? Let's find out, shall we?
