				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">You know how you used to dream of what you wanted to be when you grew up? From the second I discovered books, I only ever wanted to be an Author.</p>
<p>I remember when I was 3 or 4, I&#8217;d drive my parents crazy, constantly asking, &#8220;What does <em>THAT</em> say?&#8221; as I pointed to the street signs we drove past.</p>
<p>In my first week of school, I cried in frustration because, &#8220;<em>WHYYY</em> can&#8217;t I read yet?!&#8221;</p>
<p>Once I got the hang of that reading stuff, <em>man</em>, there was no stopping me! While all the other girls were on the netball courts, I was tucked up in a corner of the library. I totally geeked out whenever a Readathon was announced, and thought Librarians had the coolest job in the world (second only to Authors, of course).</p>
<p>In High School, I convinced my girlfriends to co-write stories with me and spent hours drafting plot outlines and drawing covers with our names on them. I wrote poetry in every spare moment and was only ever on time for English Literature class.</p>
<p>But to me, that magical career &#8211; <em>Author</em> &#8211; was something that only special people got to do. In my mind, it was so completely pie-in-the-sky, it was up there with prima ballerina and rocket scientist.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m here to tell you that just about anything is possible if you put your mind to it, ladylove! Two and a half years ago, if you&#8217;d told me I&#8217;d be sober and a published author, I would have fallen on the floor laughing.</p>
<p>And yet, here I am.</p>
<p>What if our greatest flaw turns out to be our greatest gift?</p>
<p>What if the challenges we face in life teach us about trust, tenacity, and love, so that our heart&#8217;s every dream can come true?</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy the book, beautiful. I thought of you as I wrote every single page. ❤️</p>
