"""The book is well-organized, making it easy for parents to return to a specific section in the future. A page for Notes/Things to Remember is included after each chapter. The addition of photographs and quotations creates interest. One compelling point she makes is how parents can develop a unique curriculum. In her case, an African-American family, the focus is on an Afro-centric curriculum, including African history and culture, as well as the African-American experience. Parents are encouraged to be thoughtful about what teaching would be most appropriate for their family. Other essential features include a description of methodologies and a robust resource list. Trials and Successes by Stephanie Carter will be invaluable for parents who choose the homeschooling path - an enlightening book that encourages parents by naming the challenges and how to meet them."" - Deborah Lloyd for ""Readers' Favorite"""
