Holly is kidnapped by Letitica's brother and Micah needs to save her from death. This is all I am going to tell.

How did you start doing something you love?

After my house fire, I found my pictures that made it through the fire and my mother liked going to the local scrapbook store so I got ideas and became addicted and love stickers, pictures, brads and love to scrapbook and save things. I always did but it got to be a big habit with me 15 years ago. I took classes, have a Scrapbooking Degree and earned pins and won ribbons at the fair for my work.
