One year ago today, my book hit the shelves. <\/p>\n

\n
\"Cover<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The year flew by, but this one felt particularly fast because we\u2019ve been so incredibly busy. However, I couldn\u2019t let this birthday celebration pass me by without acknowledging it. <\/p>\n

Because, holy moly, this book was hard work. From the first idea drafted in a notebook at 5 am with Cooper on my lap in January 2020 until publication, there was one snag or pitfall after another. Honestly, this was a labor of love, a struggle I pushed through because I believed in it and my story so much. <\/p>\n

Because this story matters to me. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And to celebrate a year on the bookshelves, I\u2019m giving away three signed copies of the book, along with a goodie bag filled with all the launch goodies from our party a year ago! But first:<\/p>\n

I created a book club \/ reader\u2019s guide to the book that you can download for free!<\/h2>\n
\n

DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s inside? <\/p>\n

A chapter-by-chapter thematic review, discussion questions, fun ideas for ways your book club can make your conversation interactive, and more. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s great if you\u2019ve read the book and want to direct your thinking or book journaling, too, not just as part of a book club conversation! Download away!<\/p>\n

Now for the giveaway!<\/h2>\n
