I really enjoyed this story. Lily is a bestselling author and is hoping to start her dream job. She is shocked to learn that she failed the background screening because she didn’t actually complete the degree she thought she had earned a decade earlier. So she is back to school to finish those final credits […]

The odds were against this group of ladies but I loved watching them tackle things that seemed impossible that they weren’t even sure that they believed.  I found […]
