Sophia Farooq asked Julia Alvarez:

Hi there, i hope you are doing well. Congrats on your amazing success. I wanted to check if you would kindly review a childrens book i've written dedicated to my late father? I would love your honest feedback and a endorsement. This is apart of my late father legacy and id really appreciate it. This is my first time ever writing a book so any support would mean alot to me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Julia Alvarez Dear Sophia, Sorry to report that Julia has had a setback, two major eye surgeries resulting in loss of vision in one eye, and continuing double vision her doctors are still trying to address. By way of saying that she has had to cut back on commitments she slowly learns to adapt to this handicap. She is forced to prioritize her available reading time to finishing her new novel and honoring a few endorsements she had promised before this setback. Apologies she cannot be of help to you. And she says to be sure to express how sorry she is for your loss. A great way to honor your father’s legacy is to create more beauty in this world that has lost him. Bill, in Julia’s behalf
