Notes
Journey of a Strong-Willed Child reveals the heart, mind, and soul of the child that came into the world singing, 'I Did it My Way.' You'll laugh, nod madly in agreement, and perhaps, like me, find yourself racing to the side of your own 'Aaron' and whispering a prayer of thanks for this one so uniquely created.

Alongside his mom's wisdom and his dad's insight, Aaron Smiley's enlightening viewpoint alone is worth the price of the book!"
