Melissa recently enrolled her young son Apollo in our school. She’s an author and has donated a copy of her book to us. My wife, Connie, and I looked it over and both want to read it. Connie claimed it before I had a chance and is already deep into the first couple of chapters. She’s loving it. You might want to get a copy of your own. It’s available on Amazon, Copperfield’s and most major book stores.
