A special fan letter
Any fan letter can make my day. But this one struck deeper than most. Traci wrote, “I checked your book out of my local library and read it in one sitting yesterday…as a young single mother it gives me hope it may not be too late for me to find the kind of relationship you were so fortunate to have with your husband.”
I’m glad my book can offer such hope. God knows I needed that hope when I was the single thirty-something, raising my kids alone, aching for someone to step into our life and love us.
What she said next touched me the most. “(your book) serves as a reminder that I should not settle for anything less than a complete partnership. To do so would not only hurt me but my daughter, and I can’t afford to do that…thank you for reminding me that a good marriage/relationship should involve, at its core, mutual respect and kindness. Without those traits, there really is nothing to build on.”
My book provoked those thoughts. My book might be helping a young woman do the right thing for herself and her child. It’s humbling, and I feel honored. Thank you for sharing, Traci. Your “Marsh” is out there; best of luck in finding him soon.
