Nikki Erlick
The Measure is a book about love, hope, redemption and forgiveness in the face of incredible stress and was an immediate bestseller on its release. Everyone in the world wakes up one morning to find a box on their doorstep with a mysterious string inside. As people react in their own ways to the box and its contents, we see more closely how the lives of 8 people are affected. Nikki Erlick has worked as a travel writer and ghost writer. The Measure is her first novel.
