This week on Facebook, I received this comment about God Bless the Child and wanted to share it with everyone. I hope all my readers enjoy the book as much as Shannel.

You gripped my heart strings from the start to finish, and after meeting you I was able to physically hear your voice in the story. You are an inspiration. I’ve been telling everyone about your story and your book. I hope to hear more from you. I love you sister. Please stay in touch.

Hello Readers,

On Friday, I attended an event the Black’s Writers Workshop- who will tell our story. Let me say that I was moved! To see students and others coming out to learn about great works and trying to become a journalist. As I continue to come out and attend signings. Thanks to you all! I am moving forward and enjoying every moment of the book tour and events.

To all my book clubers, I would love to make a presentation to your book club so feel free to contact me at ballarla@aim.com
