Hello all I hope this note finds you well.  First a quick Close Kids Forever book update.  It looks like we are in final edit and hoping to get a galley (last printed copy before going to press) soon.  It never seems to be fast enough for a writer.

Have you ever wondered if some severe family trauma will bring your kids together or separate them?  During my research, I discovered it can do either.  A death in the family, parent’s divorce or separation can make kids closer to each other and it can wedge them apart forever.  The significance of this finding is that parents and their parenting skills still have a say in whether or not the kids grow up to be friends.  They are not destined to become separated, so never give up.

Hang in there through hard times and make sure to “bunker down” with your family and fight for them.  The data clearly suggests it will help them and you!

My very best,
