RAISING KINGS

Jackie Gouché, the author of RAISING KINGS, inherited the gift of music from her mother and passed down three generations. Jackie and her husband, Ronald, overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges, including addiction, incarceration, and seven years as a single mom, while raising her kings. The gift of music became her strength and she used that strength to nurture and develop that same gift in her three kings.

These three young, Grammy-nominated artists are taking the music industry by storm.

Readers will discover that RAISING KINGS is not a how-to book on parenting, but simply the story of Jackie Gouché’ experience in Raising Kings.
