    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hannah Brown (Santa Fe, NM, USA)
    “This book moved me in ways I didn’t expect—heart, mind, and spirit. The moment I finished it, I thought of three friends I had to share it with. It’s that kind of special.”
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noah Park (Portland, OR, USA)
    "I didn’t expect a book to slow me down in the best way. I found myself savoring each essay, then listening to the music in complete stillness. What a thoughtful and moving creation."

With warmth and vulnerability, she offers encouragement, insight into an artist’s world, and the healing power of the arts.
