What If ...

... you read this post and were introduced to a new book? What if that new book led to a new way of thinking? What is that book opened the doors to reaching your full potential? 

 

Distinguished author Melanie Hurley signing copies of her books.

Today’s book recommendation is What If? written by Rapid City native Melanie Hurley. I have known Melanie for many years and was delighted when she became a published author. We graduated from Black Hills State University together and taught at the same elementary school for several years. Melanie was Rapid City’s 2005 Teacher-of-the Year.  She is currently a professor and the Professional Development Schools Coordinator at Black Hills State University.

  





I had the distinct pleasure of attending
Melanie’s first book signing party.

Melanie's book is everything she is- beautiful and inspirational. The text is written in the format of questions, such as “What if you never gave up on yourself?”.  Just imagine! The powerful message of believing in yourself and achieving your dreams is relevant to both children and adults. This book would work great in the classroom setting or be perfect as a gift. Of course, you'll also want a copy for yourself! Let me know if you are interested in an autographed copy and I'll send you Melanie's contact information.
