As I wrote this novel, I kept asking myself, what is the why behind this? It wasn't about fame or fortune, but about being able to touch someone's life through these stories in such a way that they have more strength to face whatever life throws their way and come out stronger. What is your why? What fuels you to pursue your passions?
