Once you have children you realize that we all have a legacy to leave behind and I am trying to start journeling/writing letters to my twins. One day I will be gone and I want them to have stories to read to remember our life together. Another great book is The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright. It will inspire you.

I borrowed this book from the library recently but just got started reading it. I would love a copy to add to my personal library. So far, it’s really good! I had the pleasure of meeting Tina in Cheyenne at a book fair late last summer before the book was published. She was so gracious as we asked her questions and it was obvious she was so proud of the book and excited for it’s release. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it to be published, too! Congratulations to Tina on her first published novel!!!

I love hearing about and finding new authors! Thank you for passing along another one!
