Val say it was a good experience for her...and helps readers understand a day in the life of a small business owner... (Val Stadick, Main Street Books) Having a business is a lot of work, its a real emotional experience, the first year is the hardest for any business owner, so it made for some good journaling. Val is the only North Dakotan featured in the book. Water Cooler Diaries is available at her bookstore, as well as bookstores across the country.  « Less
