It is my belief that the biggest problem facing teens today is self-esteem, and that works out into so many other areas. My wish is to help them see the worthiness in themselves through my writing.

The publisher found the photograph on a stock photography site, and the only name they had was the photographer's. We didn't know who the model was. After the book was published, though, the girl's mother found me on Facebook. They were so excited! If I can ever get up to the city where they live, I would love to do a book signing with the model.

My sister struggled with depression for a little while, not body image or the death of a sibling, but other stuff, so the topic is one that hits close to home.
