Sonya Carson was one of 24 children. She had a third grade education, and couldn't read. She was married at 13, and was later divorced with two young children. She cleaned homes and noticed that the successful people all had one thing in common, a library.

In today's podcast, I want to talk more about being an intentional parent, and how you can do that in your own home.
