I am so excited to tell you guys all about this book. You know how sometimes something happens to you, and you just know it was from God as a little reminder that yeah, He's still there and He still cares? That's what this book was for me. It came to me at a time in my life when I was feeling very broken, lost, and uncertain how to continue. But God was looking out for me. He's always looking out for all of us.

Lots of stuff happened in my life . . . good and bad, unfortunately. But as a writer, I find that no matter how good or bad a story is, there must always be closure. And so now I bring you a letter . . . Dear 2018, If there was one word I would use to describe you, it would be change. Never before has my life changed so much and so quickly than in the year 2018. There were many milestones: my eighteenth birthday, my first prom, my first friend breakup, my graduation from high school, my first kiss, my first semester in college. I also traveled far and wide, from the Dominican Republic all the way to New York City. I laughed and I cried. I grew closer to some people and farther from others. I felt pain like I...
