Books Quote by Yolanda A. Reid
““THE HONEYEATER story was mesmerizing: the story took hold of me and I felt compelled to write it. I was also inspired by a few female authors (among them, Doris Lessing and Isabel Allende) I've admired over the years--women who preceded me and who gave me the courage to even begin.””
