Shows rewards when one overcomes challenges.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tara and Michelle: The Road to Gold (Hardcover)
If you ever think about giving up before you achieve your goal, then you should read this because this book shows value of keeping at it, despite many hardships and difficulties one encounters. Both of these young girls can be real inspirations for others, and not necessarily girls. Do read this book!
