25. This is someone's first book and it was very easy to work with Amazon.

It took me a few rounds to get the edit process down, but they were very helpful in returning it the next day if we needed to make more changes. I was impressed with their professionalism.

Here is a paragraph from one of the chapters:

"Religion has always been a big part of mountain people. They believe in the truths of the Holy Bible. They believe you can reach out your hand and touch someone on the forehead and it will heal them. They believe that the spirit can enter your body and you will speak in tongues, which only a few can comprehend. They seemed to me to be a sub-sect of some Baptist religion? They believed in baptism. Sometimes they would lead 15-20 down to the creek so they could be dunked in the water and saved from hellfire damnation. Their desire was to be like Jesus Christ. "
