Critics Review
-
“A MUST-READ, Waiting for the Thaw: A powerful, fairytale-like story of love, family, business growth, and achievement in a changing pre and post-pandemic world. The challenges of the unknown and unexpected are magnified with the events of January 16, 2019.
The story highlights a young woman coming into her own as a dynamic, proficient businesswoman at the side of her husband and business partner. She displays an uncanny and expert understanding of business principles, knowledge, and skills, enabling her to continue the growth and success of their family business endeavors.
Her ongoing positive impact on family, friends, employees, and business partners is unparalleled, especially because she is struggling through the fog of debilitating grief, sorrow, and loss.”
