Informative, insightful, and life changing, this thirty-chapter book of short stories reveal many emotions in life that are worth reading all over again. Immerse yourself with Ralstons’ Rough Around the Edges and find yourself inspired. by Jerome & Kimberly Ralston

Two newly married young professionals decided they wanted a fresh direction in life. With little preparation and a lot of guts, this dynamic couple elected to resign from their jobs and start their own business.

With a few dollars and no cents, they embarked upon the American Dream. They began their service enterprise with hope, love, and pure faith, eventually realizing they could never turn back.

Success did not come easy, however; there were financial roller coasters, betrayals, jealousies, joys, births, and even deaths. Sometimes there were high peaks, other times, low valleys.

This team has stories to share with entrepreneurs, couples, and families. They hope that their twenty-two years of marriage and business will fill your minds and hearts with a “just do it” attitude. They believe that if you wait for the perfect moment, it may never come.

You only have one body, one mind, and one life—make it your best one! We gave it our best, and you can too, although sometimes it may be . . . rough around the edges.
