“There have been no bad reviews,” Osting explained. ”Eighty-year-old grandmothers love it!”

Even after prodding by friends suggesting that she write a book, Osting never thought she could be a successful author. Her creative interest peaked while searching for something to read after finishing “Water For Elephants,” and at that point, she still considered the challenge of writing fun. Then it happened. She was driving home on a typical day and experienced self-actualization evoking the passion to realize, explore and develop her talent and ability.
