Coldwell seamlessly blends practical expertise with heartfelt storytelling, creating a book that is as instructive as it is inspiring.
A Message of Love and Dedication
At the heart of the narrative is a touching tribute to Coldwell's wife, Shelley.

Shelley's message - "Life is simple, it's just not easy" - resonates throughout the book, making it a poignant reminder of the strength we find in love and perseverance.
