Just from reading the preview of this book I am hooked. It is heartfelt at the same time gloomy which is a unique combination. The writing style is incredible, you can tell that Ashley takes pride in her work and has a way with words. Very good book so far Ashley and I will be purchasing this one shortly!

Your presentation is really well done. I like your opening line about the spicy food and the Pepto-Bismal, which reminds me of the some of the teachers I had in high school! Your writing is better than some of the books I've seen at my bookstore; it reads like you've honed your skills some time before publishing your work. Definitely is the sort of story that could be a word-of-mouth seller.
Good luck with your book!

Wow, thanks so much Wilf! That was just what I needed to read! Let me know how you enjoy Minnie!
"Awesome Book!"
The book is great! The characters are engaging and there are some surprises that catch you off-guard. I really enjoyed how the main character rose above her circumstances. I cried at the end!
