As a parent, she has struggled. She has been a helicopter parent, an explosive parent and an embarrassing parent. (Google "dancing mom in traffic" and see for yourself.) Because she has struggled as a parent, she wants to help other parents struggle...a little bit less! Temperament psychology and qEEG brain maps, concluded that she and her daughter were complete opposites. Even with over twenty years of experience training both children and adults she was still desperately seeking a user manual that would explain how to get through to her daughter. It didn't exist. Over the last nine years, Gossett has combined extensive research with hundreds of family case studies to create the user manual she had been seeking. This book will help you accurately assess the temperament of each family member, "map" their brain functions and discover how to motivate them and connect with them throughout every stage of their development. It will also help you relax when you read about some of Gossett's own parenting pitfalls as well as the struggles and victories of other families similar to yours.

A memorial tribute to my father, Don Gossett, about how God changed his entire life in 1961 when He led him through the Bible to discover twelve affirmations - "agreeing with God and disagreeing with the devil" - that transformed his life. This is the story behind Don Gossett's "MY NEVER AGAIN LIST."

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic historical novel of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post–Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students’ lives. “An absorbing historical . . . enthralling.”—Library Journal Bestselling author Lisa Wingate brings to life startling stories from actual “Lost Friends” advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as newly freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones who had been sold away. Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous era of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Hannie, a freed slave; Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now destitute plantation; and Juneau Jane, Lavinia’s Creole half sister. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following roads rife with vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of stolen inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery’s end, the pilgrimage west reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope. Louisiana, 1987: For first-year teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job at a poor rural school seems like the ticket to canceling her hefty student debt—until she lands in a tiny, out-of-step Mississippi River town. Augustine, Louisiana, is suspicious of new ideas and new people, and Benny can scarcely comprehend the lives of her poverty-stricken students. But amid the gnarled live oaks and run-down plantation homes lie the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything.
