Unique as we are so unique is He.A very special thank you to our publisher Prop Geldenhuys who has helped drive this group to submit their work.To those who didn't get to this in time, please don't give up! A colour edition is available for those who can afford it and an eBook version for those who can't!Keep writing and keep investigating what lies within your heart.We all have stories to tell and families who will someday regret that they never heard them.L Boshoff
