Chicken Pot Pie: A Different Kind of Abstinence Book

By Em Nan Flores

If someone asked you how you felt about premarital sex, what would you say? Whether you waited or not, we each have a perspective about it. For those of us who crossed that moral boundary prematurely and encountered unpleasant consequences, that question may be a touchy subject.

For the author, never in a million years could she have imagined that those fun, thrilling, spontaneous encounters would destroy her youth, taint her reputation, compromise her self-worth, and make life so complicated. After overcoming those obstacles, she buried that hurtful, shame-filled past and kept her feelings about it tucked away.

However, twenty years later, she was asked that same question by someone she would have never anticipated, her fifteen-year-old daughter. And she wanted nothing more than for her to wait!

“Chicken Pot Pie” is a compelling, thought-provoking quick read about a mother who digs into those old emotional wounds and comes up with a unique approach to encourage abstinence by courageously exposing her past. In doing so, she unleashes three riveting stories, each with a lesson that has the power to change obstructive generational patterns, including teen pregnancy.

So, what would you say?

And why in the world is this book called “Chicken Pot Pie?”

This groundbreaking book tells us the author is innovative, self-driven, and courageous. Against overwhelming odds, this South Texas native has used her Early Childhood Development Studies, professional, and life experiences to train and speak to thousands of Early Childhood Professionals within her state throughout the past decade. She believes positive interactions with children make a difference in the classroom and a greater impact in our homes. The likelihood though of a poor, young mother, with a speech impediment, weighed down by low self-esteem, and no clear vision for the future - the odds of overcoming her past, conquering her shortcomings, and using it to help people, would have been unthinkable. The author’s debut book, “Chicken Pot Pie,” can be summed up by a quote made famous by Mother Teresa, which expresses, “If you want to bring happiness to the whole world go home and love your family.”
