Mama Didn't Raise No Fool: Part Confession, Part Rally Cry, Part Survival Guide for Moms Who Are Done Being Quiet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798272059727)

They want you to believe you're powerless. They're wrong.

Good mothers don't make waves. Speaking up makes you extreme. You can't fight City Hall. Human trafficking is rare. Socialization only happens in public school. It takes a village. Your influence doesn't matter.

These are the lies they tell mothers to keep us quiet, compliant, and afraid.

And for years, you believed them.

She was the "good mom"-the party loyalist, the volunteer, the one who played by the rules and trusted the system. Until the day she stood in a parking lot with a protest sign in her hand and realized: everything they told me about being a good mother is a lie.

That moment changed everything.

In Mama Didn't Raise No Fool, Rebekah Ricks dismantles seven pervasive lies that keep mothers silent and powerless-and reveals the biblical truths that will set you free to fight for your children without apology.

This book is for the mom who:

• Feels crazy for questioning things everyone else accepts
• Knows something's wrong but doesn't know how to articulate it
• Is tired of being called "too much" or "too extreme"
• Wants to protect her children but doesn't know where to start
• Is done being quiet but scared of what speaking up will cost
• Needs to know she's not alone

Part confession, part rally cry, part survival guide-this isn't a gentle parenting manual. This is a bold manifesto for mothers who've realized that "good" and "nice" are not the same thing, and that sometimes the most radical act of love is refusing to believe what everyone else accepts as truth.

Because the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good mothers to do nothing.

And you're not doing nothing anymore.
