NOTE FROM DANIELLE
     
    First and foremost, I want to personally thank each and every one of you for giving Bearly Holding On a chance. This book represents the first installment of what I hope to be a very long storytelling career.
     
    If you like the book, it would mean a lot to me if you would leave a quick review. Even if you hate it or find errors, I would love to hear about that also.
     
    Right now I am currently working on my next book which I know you will love!
