about lisa

"HOLY $#&%, THIS WOMAN REALLY KNOWS HOW TO WRITE."

When Jack Canfield, creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, sat down with Lisa's manuscript, he had one reaction: "Holy $#&%, this woman really knows how to write."

He couldn't put it down. He called her stories universal, profoundly moving, and impossible to stop reading, from "The Teenage Years" to her tales of pole dancing, restaurant ownership, forgiveness, and family.

What makes the moment in this video so powerful is what came before it. Lisa had almost left her most personal chapter out of the book entirely, convinced it was too dark to include.

Jack's response changed everything. "That story is some of the best writing I've read in my entire life. It is so compelling, so well-written, so self-disclosing, it's almost like a stand-alone book." Jack said he couldn't stop turning the pages.

He went on to call Lisa "one of the better writers on the planet," praised her stories about pole dancing, her restaurant, her mother's dementia, forgiveness, and love and gave "The Teenage Years" a rating of 10+++.
