Editorial Reviews

...Whether you are a published author or dreaming of becoming one...I feel this book is a must read. You never know when real life experiences of others will help you through trying times in your life. This book is no exception. Sit back and enjoy the twenty journeys inside.

I loved and learned so much from this book that I have decided to have this be the first book to kick off my book club in my forum.
