The Author Introduces Herself:

I was born in February 1972, in Bucharest, Romania. Like any ordinary child, I played and laughed—I just couldn’t walk. Both my brother and I were diagnosed with a congenital degenerative neuromuscular disease that could not be treated. We were home-schooled, with support from classmates and teachers who came from time to time to test us. I was in love with Romanian and English language and literature, I listened to lots of music, I read and wrote.
I have always been a self-taught person, thoroughly studying what I enjoyed and wanted to have for keeps!
I later became the Fan Club president of one of Romania’s leading singers. My world began to open up and I began to use the talents I thus found out I had.
In 2008 I chose to live in another country, and during the COVID-19 pandemic period, I wrote this book.
„If You Can’t Walk, Try Flying” is a book about my life in Romania, dedicated to those who wake up in the morning without hope, without the willpower to try harder and enjoy what life has to offer!
Learn to grow wings—each of us is born to fly!
