This is what is important to me: the way the book ended was so clever, loving and unique. Tone was consistent throughout and loved it showed their vulnerability. The reference in the end to Buddhism tied in perfectly with the message. Evident that extensive research was done and created a beautiful map for Millennials to follow. What a journey, thank you sharing it.
Your book is profound. I could honestly curl up and read it for the rest of the day. It really captures the essence of what millennials are dealing with. I'm definitely ordering your book for my friends so they can share with their kids. Thank you for shedding light on this issue!
I was blown away by the actionable strategies presented in this book, that address the difficulties that millennials, including myself, clearly face on a day to day basis. Shari Moss and Megan Fitzpatrick have such captivating writing style, it was very hard to set down my kindle. I'm very motivated to use what I have learned to improve both my business as well as my day to day life.

Shari's book is a must read for Millennials who wish to succeed in any industry involving customer service. In the modern marketplace, speed, efficiency and productivity are often our main focus. While this may be the case, Shari reminds us that the client's needs should always be at the forefront of our minds. We must not lose sight of these old fashioned rules of customer service and etiquette!

Although the book does cover many subjects, forward thinking is definitely embedded in the text. Its simplicity, and engaging humour, encourages any reader to think critically and understand the notion that we have the power to transform typical business practice.
She shares her wealth of knowledge, skills and success focusing on what is necessary to go above and beyond what is expected. I highly recommend this book if you want to become a customer service expert and bring your business to the next level.
The Marshmallow Kids
In the tradition of The Borrowers, Shari brings to life the daring and precocious seven-year-old Sadie who stumbles upon a secret place to call her own, filled with everything that she is missing in her own world. “The Marshmallow Kids” is a highly imaginative and engaging story that will capture the reader and sweep them off to another realm. An adventure for all ages, this charming tale may draw adults to reflect on the line we draw between children and ourselves when we decide that our dreams are less important than our mortgage and bills.
Excerpt
“Curiosity getting the better of her, Sadie creeps back towards the hole. Feeling around its as if there is no line between the wall and hole. It has a wavy feeling, like what daddy calls ‘the ripples of time’ when they skip stones at Big Pond. As her hand goes toward the centre of it, the hole suddenly gets bigger and bigger. Her green eyes opening even wider, Sadie leans towards it. Seeing a shadow that looks very much like her cat and hearing the sound of splashing in a pool, she jumps in.”
