-- Quote of the Day --
“Leah’s
family come from a very small town and they are very private people, and I
talked to some of them and they love the book and they love the pictures but
some of them said ‘listen we are a little uncomfortable that you decided to
disclose so much about your lives’… but Leah wanted to do this – and we thought
the only way that this would work is to be totally open, and that can be a
little uncomfortable for some people.
What I have done is I have sent them some
of the responses I have received on how this book is helping people and I think
they can then appreciate it even though some of it is a little difficult to
read.”
~ Nick Trujillo
