Definition of a defiant teen daughter: one who is either sullen and silent or searingly sassy, who refuses to do anything asked of her, and who withholds any expression of love or affection toward superiors. Raising such a child is extremely difficult for parents. So, how does the author cope doing it all alone? Only by the grace of God. Walk with her through her daily pain and struggles that almost break her, and watch how the Lord takes care of both mother and daughter. Be encouraged for your own tough trials.
Lorna says, “This book is not complete without my acknowledging and giving thanks to Focus On The Family and Dr. Dobson for guidance and personal help in raising my daughter. She was the one who went to the church library and found Dobson’s book, Parenting Isn’t For Cowards. Probably it was her subtle message to me, “Mom, get ready. We are in for a wild ride.” Were we ever!
