What Really Grabs Me Is When A Reader Writes To Express Her Personal Story And How A Book Helped Her Situation, Or Her Acceptance Of A Situation She Can't Change.

I Have Been Through A Lot Of Medical Trauma. I Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer .

I Wrote The Book Don't Die, My Love As I Was Going Through Radiation, So It Certainly Has An Air Of Authenticity About It Because I Was There.

I Have Known Some Magnificent Young People Who Died Very Young But Had Wonderful Lives And Inspired Many People By Their Short Existence.
