Stacey was just a regular girl that wanted to be happy like most people. However, she had the worst luck in men possible. She met her baby daddy, Tyrone at work and they hit it off. Everything moved rather quickly for them and she was enjoying it, or so she thought. The next thing she knew he was in jail and it ultimately ended what they had. She met Marcus and from the first time she saw him she was a goner. Stacey was happy living her life but she got a surprise that could ruin everything.

Am I ready to be a mom (and will I be good at it)? How do I make that happen (Sex Ed. was so long ago)? When does morning sickness end (and why does it last all day)? Why is everyone touching my belly (and how do I make them stop)? Are contractions supposed to hurt this bad (or am I being a sissy)? Is this kid supposed to eat so often (and will my shirts ever button again)? Where is the old me (and do I even want her back)? The frank humor and refreshing honesty with which Crib Notes approaches conception, pregnancy, and parenthood will not only provide a welcome distraction from all those questions in your pretty little head, but will offer some explanations along the way as well. True Confessions of real moms at various stages of motherhood, and a mini Daddy Dictionary are added bonus features!

“The Birth of Hard-Knock University” was inspired from my birth into a life I was so unfamiliar with, like all of us. We learn as we grow. “The Falling of Hard-Knock University” was inspired by my ability and so many brave and courageous others’ ability to embrace life even as we got our backs thrown against too many walls, having to accept that we could lose it all yet still find strength to get back up and do it all over again. “The Recovery of Hard-Knock University” was inspired from humanity’s ability to heal, live, and forgive.

Again and again! And again I thank everyone and all that have made time out of their busy schedules, to work together on a new book. I thank everyone! That may or may not have the money to purchase the book, And still enjoy each and every word especially if in your bones you just know it has something you can relate too. Especially the word of our Lord. Enjoy every piece of art. And then some humor, I did not know was still in me, thankfully 2 share it also. The book is about our Lord and how only his grace and most mercies have yet again woke me up, and being a part of attributing his word, from his! Word the KJV= King James version of the bible, and then in my blessed words by way of his daily experience in one salvation and life, good bad happy, happier and sad, and light stress mmm.... back to happiness, nobody but Jesus. “ The book is also dedicated to all grandparents, past present & and future. '' I am merely clay, and thank God!! He is still the potter, all glory be to God and his son Jesus. The book is also about how in these ever changing years it is ok to have a personal relationship with our Lord, when for whatever reason one is not able to get to the santuary. He is right there in heart. It is how four growing children and now adults MIED still call this somewhat loving wretch, mother and mama, maybe even friend and I would not trade them for anything, other than them all over again. I love you four and 11 dearly and Jesus will always love each of you more. P. S. With as much truth and honesty from one person to others. Love ya! And let's keep praying for ourselves, and as many as our hearts and hands can handle. Thankful 2 be an author, Cecilia Hood Ceewwe.
