Today I find this quote to be one I can really relate too! Eli Wiesel Who lived from 1928-2016 surviving The Holocaust and camps said it well when he said this: “Some stories are true That never happened.” Eli Wiesel The quote speaks a deep truth to me as an author because even when one is writing fiction it needs to be real, to make you feel as if you are there and I did my best to do that with Finding Star, and now with Broken Beginnings!

That's a great quote. The stories we tell are a reflection of the times we live in, so they might be fictitious, but the story is real.
