Welcome!

It's good to hear from you. All of my children's friends call me Mama Peay. So you may as well too. Let me start by saying, I love you. Yes, I do. I know that I don't know you, but that's okay. I love you anyway. Working with young women is my heart's desire. I enjoy just being in your company. One day you'll have to come by and we'll have a tea party. Maybe in the Spring when the azaleas are in bloom. That will be nice. Promise you'll come? I look forward to having you over.

I am the author of Brittani: Acts of Trust and Betrayal. It is my desire to see young women develop healthy life choices, especially those in the church. I say the church, because I remember being in the church and also being in the world at the same time. It didn't work so well for me. And I suspect that it's not really working for you either. I made some pretty poor choices growing up. And for that, I suffered the consequences. When you are young there is this feeling that I can do what I want as long as I don't get caught doing it. Believe me, eventually, the truth will come out and you will reap what you sow. It's a law of nature. Whatever your "it" is, be it pre-marital sex, drugs, alcohol or anything that goes against your family values - you WILL pay a price. We'll talk more about those issues later. But for now, I just want to encourage you. Think about the choices that you are making. Think about how they affect your life now and how they will affect you and your family in the future.

I'm here for you. We can discuss anything that you would like. I just ask that you be respectful of yourself and of others. I'm open. The question is, are you?

Be Blessed,
Mama Peay

Hi Mama Peay:

I am a 40 year old with four childen ages, 20, 15, 13, and 12. The 15 year old is my son. I read your book Brittani and thought it was very real and reflects true life emotions and situations. My 13 year old also read the book and could not put it down. Many times our children find themselves unable to handle situaions such as those in the book because we as parents have continually avoided the conversation about sex. If we want our children to do the right thing then we must teach them what the right thing is and we must listen to their views, opinions and beliefs. This conversation definitely goes for the boys also even if there is no man available which is often the case, we must still converse with our boys about sex and the treatment of young ladies. Thank you for your book and I look forward to hearing more from you...Faithful supporter, Beverly.
