Growing up in a culture rich in storytelling birthed a deep love and profound respect for the power of words early in JB Price's life. Add two degrees with emphasis on the English language and thirty-five plus years of working with hurting people, and you have the ingredients that have enabled JB to pen fictional stories with the flavor of real life. Kyle's Secret Challenge, the sequel to Katie's Surprise, is such a story.

Forty-five years ago, JB and her husband were granted the privilege of adopting a fetal alcohol syndrome baby girl. Twenty-seven years later they were gifted with an autistic grandson. This story was written at their request and with their approval.
