Christine Hatfield thanks for being my friend


Ashley I read your book in two days! I couldn't put it down, and I loved it so much. Thank you for writing your story to share and touch lives. It had a great impact on me and I am hoping to take your testimony and begin making mine better. :)

I'm not a good writer at all, but I attempted to write a review for your book so others may be encouraged to read it.

Take care,
Ashley

Candy Bridges HI Ashley
Thanks for letting me know. I would like to let you know that although my story stays the same, my book is currently being re edited for common misspellings, and some structure etc. So please don't judge the book by the editing. The new printed copies will have the changes made. I look forward to your feedback.

Merry Christmas!
Candy


Ashley Candy, I am completing my December reading challenge and your book is next on my list. I will be beginning it very soon and look forward to reading it! :)

Shannon Candy, thank you and your publishers, for the book giveaway. I am one of the few lucky recipients. I am so grateful for winning and can't wait to receive my new copy soon. It sounds like just what God would want me to read right now, as I am at the border of a major turning point in my life. I am inspired by your determination in many ways, but mostly in writing this novel to share it with the world. I look forward to rating and reviewing it.
