In a world where a woman's independence has become cliché, many women have begun to cling more to dependence. As a single parent, I can relate to having to maintain survival for my son and me independently. Although ultimately I understand who my Source is and I solely depend on God for everything, I can honestly say, I am ready to start depending on him: my mate. The P.U.R.E. Man provides both men and women with attainable goals to maintaining a healthy and promising relationship. In this book, author Rica R. Jones shows women how to attract and hold on to a good man, and men how to recognize and acknowledge a good woman. Through her personal journey of failed relationships, and from the conversations with insight of other women, Jones creates a new definition of P.U.R.E. through exploration of the acronym. Rica R. Jones earned bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Phoenix, Charlotte, North Carolina. She has mentored many young women through inspiring them to be the women God is calling them to be. As a result of her passion, on December 31, 2012, she started a non-profit organization, Rare Jewels. She lives with her son, Khilen, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
