Please invite anyone you know who has experienced layoffs or is facing difficulties at work to join this group. We want to help reach as many people as we can.

I'm looking for a few members to review an early manuscript (about 56 pages) and offer honest, constructive feedback. Your insights will help shape the final version before publication. Content Warning: This manuscript contains detailed accounts of sexual assault, trauma, and mental health crises. Please volunteer only if you feel emotionally prepared to read this material. About the Story: After 33 years, Carl’s suppressed memories resurface—bringing doubt, anger, and the pain he buried. As he and Olivia confront the assault that nearly destroyed their marriage, they discover that healing requires both God and professional help. Their journey is raw, honest, and rooted in decades of recovery. What You’ll Do: 1. Read ~56 pages (early draft). 2. Share your thoughts using the feedback form. 3. Help strengthen a powerful story of trauma, faith, and resilience. Also, beta readers who complete the questionnaire will receive a copy of the book upon its release.
