meant to post a lil tribute to my book on its first 🎂 — but it was right after the election. still heartbroken but want to acknowledge all the good this book has brought me. THANK YOU to everyone who bought, reviewed, and otherwise supported UPCOUNTRY over the last year…I SO APPRECIATE YOU! 🙏🩵🙏🩵🙏🩵🙏🩵
