From writer's coach to deep friend, we have traveled together...Her cross-culture journey, and her insistence on finding the core of that adventure, are recorded in this first book of the Double Doll series. Hers is the Beauty Way of a strong woman willing to dare." -Michael Thunder, writer's coachAbout the AuthorSharleen Daugherty was eight years old when she received a ragdoll with a Navajo face on one end and an Anglo face on the other.
