Todays world is super scary for mothersstories of drug abuse, sexual abuse, cyber bullying and teenage suicide are just a few of the things that Im afraid of when it comes to raising my kids. I hope that none of these awful things will ever happen to our family, but I sometimes feel as though Im not sure that Im doing the right things to avoid the bad stuff, and I dont know how I would handle it if one of these situations were to occur.

Fortunately, Marina, an ivy-league educated mother of four has written a manual of sorts to helpmodern-day moms walk through raising their children.
