"What I love about "Life on the Rock" is the opportunity it gives me to see the place I love and call home through the fresh eyes of someone who was not born and grown here. But most of all, the absolute joy of these poems is the unfiltered look into the very spirit of the writer, that she has graciously given to all who read this book. That is a gift." (Nasaria Suckoo Chollette, artist, stage performer, and poet.)
