My Review

I received a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.  This is a truly unique book.  It doesn’t preach about religion or anything like that.  Basically, it encourages you to find an interest you’re passionate about.  What would you like to be remembered for when you pass away?  This is something I have struggled with for years, I have a strong desire to make my life matter in some way. I feel so fortunate to have gotten the chance to review this book, because I now know how to make that happen.  We can all make a huge difference in this world as easily as giving up that second cup of coffee every day and donating that money to the charity you hold close to your heart.  Are you ready to make your mark on the world? I know I am!
