Having kept journals all her life, Lewis always wanted to write a book. Thanks to the internet and her great following which she's acquired through the years, she felt it was necessary to inspire or entertain people to pursue their dreams.
“As I say in the book — I feel that I owe my story in the hope that it will inspire or entertain people — young, old, gay, women, whoever — to pursue their dream. Especially now, when we are in the midst of this enormous struggle for civil rights and for the environment.”
