About the Book
Writing a book is such an incredible accomplishment! What is even more exciting is when the book is published. However, Michelle is about to find out the challenges of being a published author.

To her disappointment, Michelle doesn’t sell any books and becomes discouraged, vowing never to write again. Michelle’s mother tries to encourage her not to give up on her gift, but it is Ms. Charron Monaye who changes Michelle’s decision by sharing her success as an author. Michelle uses this information to overcome the obstacles she believes are in her way.
