Highly influenced by the writings of Jack Kerouac, the Beat poets and the literature of William Burroughs and Terry McMillan, influenced by the early movies of Spike Lee, the author after discovering the old manuscript at age 51, decided to preserve the integrity of her writing by doing minimal edits.

Step into my world. The 90's, Ivy League schools, the civil and human rights fought so hard for by previous generations manifesting in accomplishment and achievement. An age where anything felt possible. When freedom of speech and diverse ideologies were embraced, not shunned. An age BEFORE social media and cell phones. A lost age where people actually connected and lived a life of FREEDOM. Something we all need to be prepared to fight for in this new climate of the New World Order.

Check out my new release Collection of Poetry, Prose, Spoken Word and Song Lyrics entitled "You Know How It Feels" a joint collaboration with my talented rapper and songwriter son, Joshua LaChance. It will blow you away. The creative writings of Generation X meets Millennial. A must have for music, songs and poetry lovers.
