As a prominent New York businessman and survivor of the Titanic, Gracie'Äôs unique position lends credibility to his narrative. His lived experience as a cabin occupant aboard the ill-fated ship'Äîwhere he witnessed both the luxury and the peril of life aboard'Äîshapes his perspective.

"The Truth about the Titanic" is an essential read for history enthusiasts and literary scholars alike. Gracie'Äôs vivid recollections provide an unparalleled glimpse into the complexities of human emotion and morality during one of history'Äôs most infamous disasters.

    Still struggling to help your ADHD child? 
    Do you see any or many of these signs and symptoms of ADHD in your child? 
    - Loses important things 
    - Disorganized 
    - Distracted 
    - No follow-through 
    - Avoids mental effort 
    - Doesn't listen 
    - Inattentive 
    - Careless 
    - Spacey 
    - Forgetful 
    - Poor focus 
    If you’re seeing more than a handful of these characteristics, you can’t ignore them.  
    These behaviors indicate a child who is not fully present and not able to embrace the joy available in life. With these behaviors, often they find it impossible to interact in a cooperative, productive, and fulfilling way with other people. They don’t do as well in school, and this affects their future career possibilities. 
    When your child acts up with the symptoms of ADHD, it can put you right on your “last nerve,” and you want a solution. But you’re also recognizing that simply giving your child a pill every day may not be the best or most responsible thing to do. 
    Sure, you can get specialized testing and simply “get a pill” 
    OR 
    You can be a real parent and learn the true MEANING of their behavior, as well as what you can do to help. 
    There IS a Solution to Help a Child with ADHD without Medication 
    I’m here to tell you that there IS a solution for the symptoms you’re seeing in your child. And we’re not talking about controlling or minimizing the symptoms of ADHD. That’s not nearly enough. 
    We’re talking about a real transformation where your child becomes truly happy, fulfilled, responsible, and, well, a human being again - almost always without the use of medications, which have a serious list of possible long-term side effects 
    You can do this, so let's get started.
