She dreamed of being a writer like Laura Ingalls Wilder, Beverly Cleary, L. M. Montgomery, and Louisa May Alcott, just to name a few. Her passion for reading and writing increased the older she got. She wrote poetry, kept daily journals and a variety of short stories. When she decided to write a book, she was advised to "write what you know." So, she wrote for children. Letitia hopes that children discover, through her books, what their dreams are and then pursue them with all their might.
