Hi, my name is Erin. I'm the widow of an American hero, Sgt. Sam Nichols, USMC.

After years of encouragement, I finally wrote our story. It's the story of young and unrelenting love. It's the story of the fight to live life as a verb in sickness and in health, and the courage to continue on even after tragedy and death.

As it turns out, publishing a book actually requires a lot of money. I would love to get this book of hope into the hands of as many people as possible, but to do that I need your help.

Rather than rolling the dice with traditional publishing, I've chosen the hybrid publisher route, which means I actually have to pay to get my memoir published.

In order to get this story out into the world, I need your help.
