This book, a collection of three novellas, is very important to me. I dedicated it to all girls who, for whatever reason, remain unnoticed, yet deserve to shine.

My tiny studio is the only source of light in the village at this time of night. A cup of coffee on my desk, still warm, but I haven’t even tried it yet—my cat has wrapped himself around the cup, sleeping. If I wake him, I’ll burn in hell.

Why would I write about psoriasis?

Because I have it. Because I thought that if I shared my experience, it might help or inspire someone.
