Parker this women right here always would help me understand anything I had questions about, this is one time that a former student can say that a teacher changed their life and proud of her I know she worked hard to get this book published. She is an amazing woman an she pushed me to try an achieve my best in her class well in any class for that matter. Told that anything is possible it you just really put your mind to it. I love that woman to death an would love to have a copy of her book I think it would be interesting to read.
