For two years I have sat on a a manuscript that changed my life. Stemming from the tragic and sudden loss of the first man I ever loved, It is a memoir of love, grief, trauma, and the faithfulness of God through it all. Framed by a series of letters that I collected along the way (from him, to him, from others about him) the letters alone tell a story, but in this book they act as bookmarks along the journey from brokenness to healing.
The number of times I wish I could just hand the book over to another hurting or broken person is startling, and it forces me to believe that if God wrote it, then He wants to move in it. In the last few months I have wanted more than ever to do something with it. I am not naïve to how difficult it will be to be accepted by an agent or publisher, so I do not take this lightly. Before moving forward with this journey I just selfishly need to know it will matter. That’s where you, and your signature, come in. No commitment, no pressure, just a small voice of “yes” to an idea and pursuit that most days makes me want to say “no”

Needy ,would love to read your book. But i know tears will flow and my heart will break into a million pieces. But it will also be good to feel Austin around in your words...
Rooting for you! This story needs to be heard. I remember when you told me about your memoir when we met on a flight from Rome, Italy ✈️ to Chicago. That was a year ago & while we’ve connected on social media. I still wish to read your story.
I'd love to read your book. I think it would be really meaningful, shedding light on deep issues many are afraid to even think about. Go ahead. Publish it!
Definitely need this to be published. I have needed a book like this for myself and many friends that have been currently dealing with these issues.
Can’t wait to read it! We counsel so many dealing with grief, I’m sure this would help so many!
Please print this book
Not only does the world need this, I need this. Newly, this will matter so much.

Your grandmother and I werer classmates at MCHS. If you are anything like her, you are a wonderful, caring and loving person. I hope with all my heart your book gets published. I will buy a copy. God saw fit to take two of my husbands before I thought it was their time. Obviously, I don't know God's plans. Good luck Neely.
