She-Rain Author Michael Cogdill Guest Post

I am currently reading She-Rain A story of Hope by author Michael Cogdill.

He abandons one love and finds another. It is very interesting and well written. I am really getting into the story now and will be posting my review soon.

In the mean-time, here is an article (provided by Caitlin Price at FSB Associates) written by the author Michael Cogdill that I found very moving. Hope and love are always present, it all depends upon one's perspective. Enjoy.
