@M. Damien Suriel great news! Let me know when it ships so I can alert you when it arrives!

@Rolade Berthier so a reference, my book club has a history with Paulina Porizkova as she was a past Keynote Speaker at my annual book club convention for her first memoir “A Model Summer” which as her story of what happened to her a child as she was sent alone to Paris by her mother to become an international model. It was a horrific story and now looking back with now the “Me too” movement and The Epstein Files debacle her stories are even more important in context to what happened to her next that is and was just as tragic. I invest in my authors body of work and may I suggest you read her book , perhaps her first book first to understand how societies norms of patriarchy have long been ignored and need to be studied to understand. Everybody in my book club has asked me over and over what happened to Paulina since her divorce from Ric Ocasic of “The Cars” fame and death. I see this happening all the time, men falling for a 19 year old supermodel who becomes so famous that their husband can’t deal with it. Read the book and then I will happily discuss why I selected the book. Welcome to our book club and it is one we are building together, so the more you participate, the more you will glean from my choices in reading. I break all the rules when I select books. There is a reason for that as it’s the story that grabs my full attention every time. All aboard to reading and do read everything, I consider that your “Skool” homework. All the pages, watch all the videos, and this is an authentic continuing story of by reading we get to the heart of the matter fo build bridges of understanding. Just like human beings, no book is perfect but my favorite book “ To Kill a Mockingbird” gets pretty close. It won the Pulitzer Prize and film Won the “Oscar”. All the books I select are held to its high standard for all genres. No story is the same, how boring, all stories we gain insight and do learn valuable lessons as writers and readers. I, being an author know just how hard it is to write a memoir without alienating or hurting anyone. I held back on my first book because of that but no more. Pat Conroy who was a dear friend of mine told me to write the truth and I was not emotionally secure enough to do so then, I am now as the biggest lessons in life come from Our failures. I was embarrassed by what happened to me and now I know the truth shall set you free. People love to judge and give bad reviews. This tells you more about them than the book. Read as much as I do and you figure it out. There is so much truth in our stories if we just try to put ourselves in the other persons shoes. I have more shoes in my house than anyone only I call them books.

You too Rebecca!

Yes, he does, we were dancing in the street in front of my former hair salon/bookstore to celebrate his book, “Dancing at the Piggly Wiggly”. My daughter, Helaina was his partner as he taught us ballroom dancing. He has been on board with every book since. Love his books!

Paul? Advice for Rebecca?

Fraud has gotten so bad. Thank you for sharing!
