Well done!<br /><br />As for Ginnie, I think her personality is probably a fantastic asset to many people! I am just incredibly reserved (Even clapping outside for the NHS and carers on Thursday evening is terribly embarrassing for me) so the idea of making a fuss just isn't in my nature :)SummShinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036490670152724032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664399339333827419.post-38619977825985222882020-05-24T19:37:44.932+01:002020-05-24T19:37:44.932+01:00Thank you for hosting the Secret Sisters Club on y...Thank you for hosting the Secret Sisters Club on your blog today. I'm glad you gave the book a listen--even with your misgivings. <br /><br />I was a foster mom to over 100 kids over a 12 year period. One of the reason's I write this series is to empower kids who have been abused--or know someone who has been abused. When I was 12--two of my friends were being abused--I knew--but didn't know how to help. <br /><br />So I grew up to be a foster mom--and now I write books that I hope empower kids. <br /><br />Recently an 18 year old girl came to me (after reading all 4 books). She said she felt for Pierce--the bully in Book 2 who is being abused--and who the West family befriends and helps. She herself suffered at the hands of her birth father. She said the books helped her find peace and healing in her 'real' life.<br /><br />Her admission confirms to me that this message is powerful. People need to know that that they are not alone in their journey through life--that bad things happen--and more importantly--that bad experiences can be overcome.<br /><br />Tillie always starts out more timid at the beginning of a book, but finds courage and confidence throughout the story so that she realizes that she does have power and a voice that will be listened too. <br /><br />Ginnie can be a little tenacious--but it's a fault that also gives her courage to do hard things. She doesn't give up easily--especially if she is on a mission to help someone she cares about. If you choose to read book two--I think you will find her determination can be a help. ;) <br /><br />Thanks agian for hosting the Secret Sisters Club and giving the Wests a chance. <br /><br />Laugh lots, love much, write on. ;) Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820982742031660412noreply@blogger.com
