About the Book

This keepsake book resonates with people of all ages and has been inspiring them to find IT – more meaning, joy and purpose in their lives. It is a heartwarming story that reminds readers that even if they’ve lost IT, as they follow the little girl’s journey, they will see that they can find IT again.

Janae Bower, a local Twin Cities, first-time author, took seven years to finally publish the book. As a little girl, Janae dreamed about growing up and writing a book that would inspire hope in others. IT has! A matching, handmade doll of the book’s character was created by a woman inspired by the story. The doll follows the little girl’s journey as she uncovers what is inside of her. This handcrafted, multi-layered doll is a must-have! Other keepsakes like the doll are following.
