She doesn't just play with their emotions or toy with their strengths and weaknesses. Very insightful.<br /><br />I love both of Ruta's books and look forward to her third! <br /><br />And I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the suggestion of Ruta experiencing "nasal sparks" when she "had her nose to the promotional and writing grindstones." Too fun!<br /><br />Genettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496742099752109829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-34146684979740420252013-06-09T20:08:09.316-04:002013-06-09T20:08:09.316-04:00Holy mama.
