How Miss Prim Goes Wild Helps Families Around the World

When you purchase Miss Prim Goes Wild, you’re not just buying a book—you’re helping change lives around the world.

Let me tell you a story.

A Moment I Can’t Forget

Years ago, I was walking home from work in NYC. Just ahead of me, a mother suddenly began hitting her young daughter in the head. The rough slaps and shoves were likely a public version of what happened in private.

What did I do? I considered running up to them, thought about what I could say… and then I turned into my building, sick to my stomach with anger toward that woman. I did nothing.

At the time, I was working for an anti-domestic violence organization. If anyone was going to intervene, it should have been me.

What I See Now

I’ve replayed that moment countless times, thought about what I might have done differently. I now see that woman not only with anger but with deep sadness. After nearly two decades working with women in desperate situations, I better understand the crushing weight some mothers carry.

That woman had probably been raised with the same violence. She may have been living with an abuser, or abusing a substance to ease the pain. Money was likely tight, and survival was her daily reality. There was no time for picture books or flower dolls. No yard for wildflowers. No emotional space for play. Only survival.

I hope someone braver than I intervened to make sure that little girl was safe. The mother is responsible for her actions and behavior; she can choose another path.

But it’s easy for me, someone who has had the correct paths pointed out to me since I was young, to criticize someone who has never been shown the direction to a healthier way. Most of us here have had guides along the way. But many do not.

A Global Picture

She’s not alone. Millions of mothers around the world are raising children in survival mode.

Our family has partnered with World Vision since those NYC days because their approach creates real, lasting change.
They provide:

• Access to life-saving, clean water

• Medical care for preventable diseases

• Microloans and job training to help families build income

• Biblical teaching that helps cast a vision for one’s value in Christ

And it works. In communities where World Vision is active, the tragedies and hardships resulting from life in constant survival mode plummet: child marriage rates, starvation, disease, despair, illiteracy, and violence.

Why Books Matter

Most of us have the luxury of reading with our children.
But around the world, many parents and children can’t. They don’t have the time or the freedom to simply sit down.

Girls walk miles for water instead of going to school.
Families resort to tragic decisions like trafficking or child marriage just to survive.

In the time it has taken you to read to this point, about 40 girls have been sold as child brides.

We can help change that through the purchase of Miss Prim Goes Wild.

There Is Hope

When clean water flows, children go to school.
When parents earn an income, desperation fades.
When families hear they are deeply valued and loved by God, decisions begin to shift.

Hope is at the heart of Miss Prim Goes Wild—and here’s how we can offer it to others.
