I contacted Linda Ellis, introduced myself, and told her how much I love her poem. She told me how, in one afternoon in 1996, she was inspired to write The Dash. Her life, she said, has not been the same since then. And it hasn’t been for anyone who has ever read her powerful words either! That conversation sparked our publication of The Dash in 2005. Since we started Simple Truths almost seven years ago, we’ve been blessed to publish over 100 inspirational books, written by some of the best authors in the world. But of all the books we’ve created, none have had the emotional response of The Dash.
