#TheStruggleBooks Authors

The authors of these books are from Middle Georgia which consists of a mom, and her four daughters.  The mom, Patrice Smith, is a second-time author, who has previously co-authored a healthy living cookbook entitled Real Food Is Real(ly) Good.  She received a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources and Family Studies from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. 

 
The four youth authors are Donna Smith, Shannon Smith, Charity Smith, and Faith Smith.  They are all very active and creative with a variety of interests which include reading, drawing, singing, art, and more.  The idea for the first book came from their mom’s summer writing assignment.  These books were inspired by their real life, but they are works of fiction.  Be on the lookout for future works by these talented authors!
