A Memorial

A Tribute to a Great Man and Advocate for Women, Families, and Youth
In memory of Father Patrick McGrath of Ireland.
Father Pat McGrath was not only a friend to Be the Star You Are!®, he was a champion for women, families, and youth. His middle name was "Celebration" as he lived life to the fullest and encouraged everyone he encountered to live in the moment. To honor this mentor who helped so many lead better lives, we have created a memorial fund in his name to donate books to youth.
Please make a contribution to celebrate the celebrator by visiting:

An Award!

Be The Star You Are! For Teens has been selected as one of the top 50 books for teens and tweens by Radical Parenting and a teen review committee. The manuscript was submitted and it won a Best Parenting Book nomination too.

It's very exciting news and it definitely is getting us at Be the Star You Are! all pumped up for the event.
