Women and young girls’ mental health. Self-esteem. Family relationships, and alopecia awareness and support of those with this medical condition. I want women to feel self-worth and have resources to help them value themselves.

Will this novel be the start of a series, or are you working on a different story?

Yes, it is. Likely I will.
