My name is Allison and I'm 11 years old in the 5th grade. A friend of my Mom suggested that I write my letter here to show how much the book has been enjoyed. Your inspirational stories have touched my soul and my spirit. You have taught me not to take things for granted and to be thankful for everything that I have. You are all very brave people for sharing your sad, hopeful, growing up, family and just plain old stories of experiences. I thank all of you because now I know I'm not alone out there in this world with the same problems. I wish you all the best in the future Sincerely Allison
