Our in house editor and noted author, Virginia Carraway Stark, has had a story selected for publication by famed inspirational franchise, Chicken Soup for the Soul!

It hits bookstore shelves October 6- get your copy of these amazing tales of uplifting anecdotes starting Tuesday!

Virginia’s tale centers around an uplifting conversation she had with her father as a child, one that helped to inspire her to follow her dreams.

Tune in later this month for an interview with Virginia in which she discusses her story and the upcoming release of her memoirs, I Have Memory, to be published by Arras Books in the winter of 2015. I Have Memory includes the fascinating and harrowing events surrounding her Think Possible story, all part of her vivid tale of life in the rugged Peace Country.
