The Search for Drake Colton blends courage, faith, and adventure as Princess Amy ventures to the Oregon coast to uncover what happened to her parents. We talk about why this story resonates with young readers, where to find it online, and how honoring royalties for child creators builds trust and sets a healthy standard in publishing. When families see fair treatment, more kids feel safe to write, revise, and share their work.The conversation turns toward winter, service, and the lessons learned inside overnight shelters. We walk through intake lines, hot meals, the quiet relief of a warm space, and the humility that comes from seeing neighbors weather the cold with courage. It’s a real-time reminder that mental health and community care are linked, and that sustainable service requires boundaries, rest, and teamwork.
