Author Spotlight: Lavern McCants, On the Release of New book, "Single Lady Wise Talk: The Rule-Changer"

While some people choose a book by the cover, I've always been drawn to the back cover that contained the author's biography. After reading picking up one of Dr. LaVern McCants' books, I was intrigued by her depth of knowledge, commitment to school and youth improvement, and her contributions to the field of education. She has written numerous books and has a couple other good reads in the works. 

Her newest book, Single Lady Wise Talk: The Rule-Changer, was just released on Dec. 29th, 2020, and is available for purchase online on her website and at most major booksellers.
