Sandra Peoples loves to write. A writing contest sponsored by Ebony/Jet Magazine in the late 80's helped assure Sandra that she could definitely be a writer. A paper she wrote for her high school English class containing a Post-it note saying, 'This is really good; you should get this published', only gave her more affirmation. Since 2005 Sandra has been blazing a path to make her dreams come true with her pen and a computer. From her stories of fiction, to the content she writes online, she uses the power of the written word to change lives, inspire, motivate and entertain. When she is not writing, she is teaching others how to step out with their gifts and talents in pursuit of their own dreams. Sandra hails from Flint, Michigan, and is mom to two girls, Jashimbra and Aaliyah.
These authors have been where I have been. I have raised two special needs children from birth to their mid 40's. So much of this book resonates with my experience and affirmed me. Thank you to the entire group of authors.
