Hi Everyone,
Before I begin I would like to thank everyone who has purchased a book. So far we have sold over 1000 and both Laura and I are very encouraged from the comments we have received. One thing I have learned is it is very difficult to have your book placed in big stores such as Costco. Apparently it is common practice to only sell books that are published by someone other than yourself. I wish I had known that sooner, who knows, maybe someone would have published it, either way I know Laura's story has helped others and that was our goal.
We are going to do one last big push for the book, so on June 8th/12 we are asking all you tweeters to tweet your friends and have them tweet theirs about the book. You can hash tag it as story of hope, overcoming alcoholism, poverty hurts children, abuse, or whatever else you think might catch someone's interest and click on the tweet. There are also some url postings that you could cut and past as well. Thanks again for all you have done, and please help up get a million tweets, okay, I am a very positive thinker. Also, watch for our YouTube presentation coming soon.
"A Little Girl Called Squeaks," is a must-read for anyone who has struggled with addiction, abuse, or feelings of worthlessness, or for anyone who wants insight into the feelings and challenges of those who struggle so. It takes place in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, BC. And it is a reminder to all of us that life stories like this should never be for children.

Watch this once more.
I recently watched the video of Laura again and it reminded me of how her story can help so many of us on various levels.
To the addict, it brings hope.
To those of us that have never lived this life style, it brings understanding.
It reminds all of us every child has a right to live in a world where they are loved and not abused.
It should shake us up in a way that we will become the voice for those children whose voices have been taken away from them
Also, a big thank you to all those who are great Foster Parents, you are a gift.
