Gold Dust Publishing brings you Reflections. A charity book featuring over forty authors, actors, musicians, entertainers, teachers, counselors, and everyday people who look back to tell a younger version of themselves what their past has taught them. Each one shares how they endured a variety of situations from verbal and physical abuse, fear, suicide, rape, and change to become the best versions of themselves. The Goal? Not to toot their own horns, but to help those who are in similar situations. To show that there can be light at the end of a narrow tunnel, and to let those afflicted know that they are not alone. Each of these contributorscome from all walks of life - Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and even our straight allies - and give hope that you too can make it through the things that are afflicting you. A lot can be learned from taking a glimpse at the past. Looking back reminds us of where we were, how far we've come, the things we needed to change, the things we didn't. But most importantly, the blood, sweat, and tears it took us to get here.
