Congratulations to my friend Joan Berry on the release of her new book “The Johnia Berry Story”.

I first met Joan just a few weeks after her daughter Johnia’s murder in 2004. I never dreamed that the grieving mother I interviewed that day would go on to become so much…

[Josh Smith @JoshSmithWrites]

…a champion for victim’s rights, an advocate for justice reform, a philanthropist who works tirelessly to help children, and now an author.

I was honored to be asked to write the forward to Joan’s book Proceeds will go to the Johnia Berry Scholarship at ETSU.

A friend told me today and I thought it was a prank.

Thank you to the very kind readers of the @timesnewsonline . I’m truly grateful.

[Josh Smith @JoshSmithWrites]

It all starts with a dream.

But don’t take my word for it.

Here are the latest observations and lessons I’ve learned in “The School of Dolly.”

Thanks to all who’ve offered encouragement and followed along.

I’m still struggling to put thoughts into words. So I’ll just say THANK YOU and share what I said on the air Friday night. It sums things up.
