    1. Betti, me, too! I'm glad you like Cindy's cover! I told her I needed a little more mature looking heroine, about 27 or 28, and dressed plainly so as not to call a lot of attention to herself.

  50. Carrie your book cover is beautiful, the story sounds so good. But, I believe this book will be able to help people also. I know God can help us through all things and the main character will have to have his help to be able to work through her past. Just like a lot of people in this world.
