A Thanksgiving Reflection — Gratitude, Growth, and What Comes Next

As the year winds down and the turkeys start to cook, I always like to take a moment to reflect on the past twelve months. This year, especially, has given me more to be thankful for than I ever could’ve imagined.

Jake Stehman liked Nick Reichart's review of A Whole New Game (The South Mountain Series Book 2): "A great sequel I. The south mountain series. The character development was excellent.
