Her infections laughter and spirit help us understand how she came to write her compelling debut novel MAAME, using her diary entries, following the passing of her father. She shares how she was able to write such a tender and witty novel on a topic that is so close to home, how she understands the editing process to be an enriching experience for both herself and her characters as well as when she knew she had to break up from her first agent.
