How Personal Journal Entries Can Spark Ideas for Publication

Edie here. Today I'm thrilled to introduce you to an author who is a dear friend of mine. I've been praying for her latest book, Hope for Widows: Reflections on Mourning, Living, and Change, for a long time. It recently hit store shelves and I'm thrilled to have her share a guest post and give you the link to her book below. Give her a warm TWC welcome!
