Face Your Giant

About this ebook
Janet Baird
My youngest son, Chris, joined the United States Coast Guard eight years ago. He has lived in different states making it impossible to visit more than 2 times a year. When Jocelynn was born, I could tell there was something very special about her. She and I grew very close. Jocelynn has such an imagination. We tell stories and put each other in the stories. I become a kid again when I am around her. Chris is relocating to Virginia and will be on a big Cutter. My husband and I are hoping to relocate to spend more time with them. Baby Jackson was born in 2009, and Jocelynn is a great big sister. Other than Super-girl, most of the book is true. I hope you enjoy it.
