Congratulations to Diane Covington who has a very sweet and emotional story titled “Finding Gilbert“ about finding her lost French almost-adopted “brother” in the June Reader’s Digest.  (When you read this moving story, be sure to have your handkerchief handy.)  Her journey to get it published was emotional, too, and you’ll find that tale in the “Tips & Resources” section of this BATW e-zine.

   I just finished reading the story about Finding Gilbert. I challange anyone with a heart to read this story without crying, sobbing. Great job MS. Covington.

   Hi Todd,

   Thanks so much for your kind comments. I really appreciate them.

   I have a favor to ask of you. Would you please go to the link and click on the button that lets you vote for it as a ‘must read’? It’s at the bottom of the page and just takes a second.

   That would help me a lot when I want to pitch them other ideas.

   Take care,

   Diane
