The fact that I could support a fellow aspiring author was just a bonus. I give you lots of credit for never stopping caring for others, despite how life has knocked you down. You said once something about how people need their pain acknowledged. I don't know if you need to have gone through hardship to realize that or not but it was a very valid point.<br /><br />I had started writing a children's book on the free Amazon self-publishing site. It was about a girl with selective mutism, a condition I struggled with (though undiagnosed) as a child, and I had planned to give free copies to those who would benefit from it. But midway through I began to doubt my writing abilities and compare them to those of other, already published writers. The project became one of many I have begun but never finished. So kudos to George for never giving up on getting his book published. It is a heart-warming story and I am glad I could help spread word of his book.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655006068640308724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-56287230851571431292018-04-04T19:55:03.253-07:002018-04-04T19:55:03.253-07:00What an amazing and beautiful story!

There was only one hardback in stock so I ordered paperbacks. Congratulations on publishing your first book! Your story had me smiling at my computer screen. Thank you for showing us how you hold onto a dream and never give up! Enjoy your publishing party; you deserve to be celebrated. I hope Anna keeps telling us stories of her visits with you...or that you start a blog :)<br /><br />Take care!<br />ChristinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839138741033151285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-46120498437996347272018-04-04T05:40:26.339-07:002018-04-04T05:40:26.339-07:00This is one of the loveliest stories I have read i...This is one of the loveliest stories I have read in a long time :) Congratulations on the achievement and becoming a published author to George!
