Thank you for this wonderful review! Hosting you at our San Miguel retreat was such a joy. Getting to experience literary giants up close while creating together is something truly special. I am so glad you felt that. I cannot wait to see your memoir and your story on the stage!

I met with Layla at the San Miguel Writers Conference. She really enhanced the experience for me and I had a lovely time!
