When she returned to university to complete her history degree, her favourite lecturer encouraged her to write fiction. She hasn’t looked back, and never goes anywhere without her favourite pen because you never know when the inspiration might strike.

As a nurse read this book was an inspiration of vocation and love for others. I cried with the terrible experiences behind the war and their survivors.
I will keep Hiroshi’s words in my hearth to find magic everywhere and everyday in my life.
