Everyone's comments, art, and love for this story got me through a lot of hard times when I was doubting myself. Scrolling through old comments today made me tear up. I truly believe that writing this book and connecting with everyone made me grow for the better.
Feel free to send any artwork based on Pride to my Instagram @ claire.g8
Hope you are all well and finding joy,
Claire
