Why I Wrote a Book
There are some things in life that you always dream of doing. And you even tell people, “One day I’m going to …” Writing a book was never one of my dreams. As a school-aged girl, I struggled to finish reading a book for a simple book report. When the time came to churn out a seventy-five-word summary of what I had read, I always needed a few more words to meet the word count.
