Reading never came to me easily growing up. I struggled tremendously with trying to find the meaning in the author’s words, because the books didn’t make sense to me. It always felt as if it was fight that I’d never win. I felt this way for some time till I read, ‘The Not So Lonely Good Company of Books’ by Bryce Shoemaker.
