I want to recommend a book that a good friend of mine wrote about her life and struggles she faced. It is called A Brand New Beginning by Heather Ricker-White. Heather lost her father when she was 6. She then lost her mother during her senior year in high school. Soon after, she lost her grandfather, leaving her with her brother as her only family. Her brother is a student of mine, as well. I got the book this afternoon and I have speed read through most of it. Please buy it and tell others about this book. She lives in Chuckey, TN.
