It's here, the Overcoming Adversity Anthology! I am so privileged to be a contributing author to this awesome collection.

A collection
of seventy moving and uplifting original pieces - real life, flash fiction, and
poetry - about battling against the odds and the ultimate triumph of the human
spirit. The contributors include Amazon bestselling authors Alex J. Cavanaugh
and Kyra Lennon, and the cream of upcoming talent.
The anthology is part of a fundraising effort to send the editor's stepson, Andrew McNaughton, to a specialist college in England. Andrew has cerebral palsy, and is a remarkable young man with a promising future. However, the free further education options offered in his own country of Scotland will not challenge him and allow him to progress. In order to access the education he deserves, Andrew will have to pay exorbitant fees, thus creating a situation of discrimination.
Help us get Andrew to college by buying a book that runs the full gamut of human emotions, ultimately leaving you inspired and glad to be alive. Whatever struggles you are going through, our sincere hope is that this book will help.

Speaking of adversity, Chad Morris wrote an inspiring post last week about how one of his dreams is coming true with the release of his MG novel, The Inventor's Secret.
But right now it's overshadowed by a much more important dream...the health of his little girl. If you have a minute, stop by here to see how you can cheer her up and enter to win some awesome prizes while you're at it. By the way, his book is already up on Amazon if you want to support his family. My husband is currently reading it out loud to my kids and they are loving it!
