Congratulations on your well-deserved win with this interview. Thank you for shedding light on Lea and the incredible, talented, courageous, and resilient human being that she is. She has been given a remarkable gift and uses it to tell a story of trial and triumph. My admiration and best wishes go out to both of you.

Oh, Ginda, I just love that you so totally "get it." I, too, find her absolutely remarkable. A lesser person would be a psychopath after such treatment, but she's like this phoenix that just keeps bringing her brand of goodness to the world. I really appreciate this review. Thank you. xo
Comment from judiverse
Oh, wow! Is she really that gorgeous? Her looks alone should sell many copies of her book. It's amazing that a person can overcome such obstacles growing. Her story is somewhat similar to another author's true story of her growing up. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the author. You did a wonderful job with your questions, and it must have been a sensitive issue to cover those painful experiences Lea went through. So often when kids are in trouble like she was, no one listens to them but takes the parents' word for what's happening. How shameful they turned others against her. You also made the way Lea approached her writing sound interesting and made it sound enticing to the readers. Congratulations on being Number 1 with this. judi

Comment from EILEEN LAW
Lea is my older Sister. Reading this was taking me along the journey again. Both painful and cathartic. A necessary long overdue dive into the pain and psychological hell that was trapped in my scarred heart. She has suffered enough and needs what we have both craved our entire lives....to feel safe.

Wow. Thank you for responding and validating her side of the story. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this tormented youth, as well. xo

Rachelle - My sister deserves the world and all that is hasnt offered her yet. She can be rough around the edges but inside her beats a broken heart that is tender and deeply misunderstood. I myself have been trapped in the lies told about her. for believing them in any way I am deeply sorry.

Comment from Nicki Nance
I never read an interview where I liked the interviewer as much as the interviewee. This was a great exception. You asked the questions with great sensitivity and depth. Thanks for a great read.

Hello Rachelle,
I'm so glad that you posted this interview with Lea. I've followed her story from the start and went through all the emotions one would feel when exposed to the level of cruelty and mind games from her own family. Unbelievable. I hope that since so many have read your interview, her audience will grow and her story will get to more people and hopefully have an impact. Well done gal.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Comment from Annmuma
I have been following Lea's work -- though I don't always review every chapter. (It is a time issue!) I have found her work to be exceptionally honest and gut=wrenching. It is well done and I can have only admiration for the courage it must still take to overcome her trials. Certainly, I will be ordering a book or tow!. Great interview, presented in a way that adds information and depth to Lea as author and main character in her book. ann

Comment from patcelaw
This is the most gracious interview with a young lady who was so violently abused. It kept me engaged the whole way
through. I am so glad that Leah has decided to write a trilogy of the things that she went through and I do hope that she does well with her book Patricia

Thank you very much for this, Patricia. She has THE most remarkable spirit, and her story NEEDS to be told. She's begun to post the second book now, Spectre, and it's a jaw-dropping good read.
Thanks for the encouragement here as well as the additional star. Very much appreciated. xo

I want to make you one of my fans. Fan story. But I?m out of the ability to do that today. I?ll have to wait till tomorrow.

Lol! Well, then I will add that to the day's list of things I'm thankful for!! (It's Thanksgiving here in America. I don't know where you live.)

I live in Glendale Arizona. And we will be celebrating Thanksgiving here in our home tomorrow with my granddaughter and her family.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
This is a lovely chat with Lea, Rachelle, and it reads like a conversation between friends. I am still reading Ghosts, and am continually amazed that Lea can see the beauty after the childhood she had. Thanks for sharing this interview with us all,
cheers.

Comment from Goodadvicechan
Lea, you are a tough and brave person to go through your hardship childhood.
Interview with questions and answers is an effective way of sharing information.
I agree that Fanstory is a good place to find mentors and friends.
