I can remember Jane laughed and said, 'I don’t want to read that book.' Then she said something so lovely. 'Gabbie when I read your essay, I fell in love with you. I wanted to know about you as a teacher, and I wanted to know what your school experience was like and what made you become a teacher. I wanted to know what happened that caused you to leave. I wanted to know all about you.' As she spoke, I thought – yeah, I can write that book. That’s my story. I can tell my story."
