Last week, I visited the Saturday Zona Rosa group led by successful author, Rosemary Daniell.  I’ve attended Daniell’s workshops where she’s excellent at  encouraging writers of all venues to move forward with their projects and get their work on the market.  Rosemary gives workshops all over the country:  rosemary@myzonarosa.com

Rosemary had invited me to come to meet her guest speaker, Jessica Handler.   I’m certainly glad I accepted her invitation.  Jessica spoke about her book, Invisible Sisters, a memoir about Jessica and her two sisters.  Her sister, Susie was diagnosed with leukemia and died at the age of eight.  Her sister, Sarah, was born with a fatal blood disorder.  At this point, Jessica said she introduced herself as ”the well sister.” 

She has written a moving story about the effects of illness on her whole family and how she survived to find her way.   Jessica has become a successful individual with a talent for sharing herself.  Jessica is creative writing instructor in Atlanta.  I highly recommend her memoir.  You can check out her website at:  www.jessicahandler.com
