Good afternoon, Ms. Hardy. It is important to me to be able to respect different points of views. For anyone reading your comments, I'd like to make some factual clarifications. I have no affiliation with the governor of Florida or his policies. I am not a divorce attorney. I was a divorced single mom. Generally speaking, there are exceptions to everything in life, and I make significant efforts in the book to make that clear. Some of the quotes you reference in your comment are taken from an interview and must be reviewed in context to get the meaning intended. In that interview, I speak about my experiences and what my mother did. As Mr. Scott suggested you might get a fuller perspective by reading the book since there is nothing in it, or in the interview I mentioned that shames or blames women. Quite the contrary, it places responsibility on the absent fathers for their failures and addresses how women can heal from this very difficult life challenge by seeing life through a Spiritual lens.

Hi Chandra. Acknowledging your willingness to share. Thank you for sparking what will hopefully be a deeper conversation on this important theme. In all fairness to Olivia, her book provides the proper context for what may not have been conveyed in her message here. I also will check out the book you recommended in your comment. Maybe I can talk you into sharing your thoughts about that book in a future feature piece.
