Oh my! What a wonderful review! I teared up. Jacob is so heartfelt and sincere. I love it. You are amazing, Cheryl. I love how you connect with your readers. Talking tough subjects is hard but so important and letting readers know you care and are there is even more important. Thank You!

Rebecca, I teared up, too! I loved Jacob’s sincerity and heart, too. I loved the whole video review! And thank you for your kind words; I really appreciate them.
It’s so important, so needed, to be able to talk about painful subjects in a way that reach others. I’m so glad when my books touch people!
