It is my prayer that you will find this a helpful book. In this book I relay the truths of my raising three children alone. I share the pain I suffered with each one individually, as well as the joy I received from them.

Some aspects of their lives may have really out weighed other aspects of their lives, they all still brought me closer to the one and only living God.

In this book, I leave no rock unturned so that you will be able to identify with something I may have gone through. And my experience may be able to shed some light on your situation to supply you with the hope, love and answers that I have found in Christ.

The names I share in this book have been changed or altered to protect the innocent, as well as those who may identify with some of  the characters. There are no offensives intended. My only intent is to help you deal with the trials and tribulations you find yourself enduring because of your children. My intent is to help you relax and see the humor in your situation so that your mind can be  free to come up with everlasting solutions to

 the problems Satan has tried to inflict upon us. I pray this book will be a blessing to your soul.

For this generation of Moms, there is no cookie-cutter mold for how motherhood should be or, more importantly, how it should appear to be. These days, whether we moms have a career or stay at home with our kids, whether we are single, married, divorced, or widowed, we are forging a new path in motherhood.

Perhaps most importantly, this generation of moms is releasing the need to be perfect all the time, and is embracing the notion that we can have balance in our life (most days). This new breed of moms understands that this frees up the time and energy necessary to pursue growth in ourselves outside motherhood. Furthermore, we are learning to shake off guilt and celebrate the imperfections in our daily lives. This empowers us to redefine ourselves, to use our gifts and talents to create a purposeful vision for our lives outside motherhood. Finally, we are becoming champions of our own lives, awakening the “champreneurs” within ourselves.

We are grateful for the sacrifices our mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers made to get us to this point. We are merely standing on their shoulders. Without them we are nothing; our gratitude to them is everything. But rather than looking behind us for affirmation, today’s mothers lean on, support, and empower each other. No guilt allowed.

Mommy Magic gives these moms an encouraging pat on the back, a good laugh, and affirmation that being real is important. It gives moms permission to admit that motherhood is not perfect; it is, in fact, a journey. Mommy Magic is meant to be a humorous and inspirational guide to living in chaos, an empowering and easy read to squeeze in while waiting in the carpool line. Most of all, Mommy Magic is meant as a vehicle for mothers to share, talk and laugh over the fact that nobody is perfect all the time.

Are you a mother? Are you looking for a good laugh? Then this is the book for you. No psycho babble on how to raise your kids, only issues that you might relate to. Just pick from one of the many personalities in this book and find your child, or perhaps relate with mom on how she copes, (or doesn't cope) with the every day mayhem you experience with children from the teen years down to the toddler. If you think you're alone in all the battles you face as a mom, here's a book to show you that you're in good company.

Since her early childhood, Angie McHall noticed that there was something different about her life; although she was surrounded by a father and a mother figure, there was really no one in the house to call mom and dad.

Angie was fortunate enough to have in her life her nanny, Liz Santiago. This was the woman who ended up giving her unconditional love and affection, and who would become the only mother she ever had.

As Angie grew older, she realized that she was the only person in that household of a different skin color. She would later discover that the couple with whom she had learned to share her space was, in fact, her natural parents, who had chosen to treat her as a perfect stranger, because they did not have much in common with her.

Angie was lost; she was engulfed in a mystery that she simply could not comprehend. She was mesmerized by what she considered to be the strange circumstances of her existence.

How did Angie happen to be black when the people responsible for her birth were white? She was determined to find the answer to that question, if there were one to be found.

Upon her insistence, her nanny decided that she could no longer remain indifferent to her cries; so she promised Angie that she would do all she could to help find the truth that was kept hidden from her all of her life.

Liz meant what she said. She was about to make good on her promise.

The night before she was to travel to Florida, where Angie was attending school, for a face to face meeting during which she would reveal to Angie the mystery of Angie’s life, she went to bed never to wake up again.

Angie’s hope was dashed. The only person on whom she counted to solve her life’s mystery was gone. But was Liz’s untimely death really an accident of nature, or part of a Machiavellian plan engineered by an invisible hand to keep Angie and, perhaps, her parents from finding the truth?
