    Author

    Eva Fry

    Eva Fry has dedicated her life to helping troubled kids. She began her program Be a Winner in Life at Juvenile Hall in San Diego in 1994 and has spoken to over 10,000 incarcerated kids, aged ten to eighteen. Eva was raised in a troubled home with an alcoholic father and emotionally disturbed mother. She understands the pain many of these young people have experienced and the wrong choices so many of them make. She shares with them how she broke the destructive life cycle of her family and began a new healthy cycle for her own children and grandchildren. This book is a result of her desire to teach children and their parents the secrets to successful living and to keep kids away from choices, which destroy their future and their potential. She hopes to support parents and help them keep their kids on the straight and narrow. Her goal is to save our younger generation from the evil path so many are following. Eva Fry lives in San Diego California with her husband, Al, of 44 years.
