You are not that late. You have to check with Nick on the cash it's raised so far. The book is a novel one from the point of view of how people are dealing with a wide range of issues. It offers hope.J.L.

We sent her to a specialty school to get her GED after graduation from high school. So I know what I'm talking about with this.<br /><br />My daughter's medical and physical needs were met while she attended classes. She graduated Validictorian with the highest marks in the history of the school. She was also class president, learned to drive, and started college in the time she was there. These are things the local educational psychologist said she would never accomplish.<br /><br />So when I hear the plight of a young person with high dreams I go into cheerleader mode.<br /><br />Pleased to meet you also Hilary. I'm Irish by marriage. Erin go bagh to you too. For what it's worth you don't need a kindle to download from Amazon or Smashwords. You can get the software to read it on your phone or computer.<br /><br />J.L.

I have ordered copies of the book, and will get my Kindle up and running shortly ..<br /><br />Cheers and Happy St Patrick's Day ...
