Pull up a nice, warm, cozy chair and enjoy some Hot Apple Cider along with me.Move in closer. That’s it. We’ll all share our stories together, like a group of close friends. Stories of heartbreak and redemption—trouble and overcoming—questioning our faith and embracing it—and, most of all, finding hope at the end of every path.There’s just nothing like a circle of warm friends to share life with. All 15 of us will take turns opening up our hearts to you—sharing little pieces of ourselves. Come and join us.We’ll even include discussion questions so you can reflect on our stories or explore the themes with a group.Our first two Hot Apple Cider anthologies won a number of awards and have nearly 90,000 print copies in circulation. They’re also now available as ebooks.“In the tradition of Chicken Soup for the Soul, these delightful readings are like a cozy cup of hot cider.
