I had the privilege of beta-reading Keeper by Elizabeth Altenbach. It’s a book I probably wouldn’t have picked up off the shelf, but I’m glad I read it. It covers two very difficult topics and does so with care. You can preview and purchase Elizabeth’s book at: https://www.createspace.com/5617671 . Enjoy this guest post by Elizabeth and be sure to follow the tour and enter the giveaway at the end of the tour.
