She also enjoys hiking, their cabin in the mountains, yoga, cooking, advocating for animals, and helping kids find their inner voice, and living as a vegan.
When I purchased this book I had met the author through social media and wanted to support their work. This is a great book for children and adults alike. This story gives you hope in the midst of pain, abuse, neglect that most will not have experienced and yet for me as I read it, I could liken it to that there is always hope, always better and all the way through the book I was championing Sheba on to go for it and for them to make it and Mary's obvious love to see Sheba through the fear is that ultimate love you want and need. I do not want to spoil it but if you are thinking of purchasing this, do it as it is a great book to read and I promise you your heart will be touched by this beautifully and sensitively written book.
