DO YOU LOVE ME? by Gigi Goodall
ISBN 9781484877241

A heartrending true story of abandonment, redemption, and forgiveness, Do You Love Me? inspires and motivates. Gigi tells of her experiences, beginning at age five, of being shuffled to various foster care homes and work-for-board situations. The gold in this true plot is the turn-around: a family of five and a gift of helping others. This girl with a minimal education makes a lifelong, substantial career with special relevance and heart: helping the poor find better housing. Her stories of both sides of life, neglect and care, shine a light for readers. Already a book club choice in Florida!

Do You Love Me? by Gigi Goodall, edited by Writers in the Sky’s Deborah Wilbrink, is available on Amazon and by request at your retail bookstore.
