About the Book
In time of need,
arms will appear.
When there is danger,
the power of friendship
will lead you to a path.
Be careful to step.
The truth will appear,
preparing to fight
the greatest of frights
deep down inside.
Stay humble and pure
in the eyes of God.
He lightens your way
with the power of love.
The deepest of secrets,
you keep to yourself.
The path you have chosen
will lead you so high.
As high as you can,
climb hard the mountain of life.

Struggling, Kulpan managed to give her daughters college education. In 2001, Acela graduated from Kainar University where she studied English.
In 2005, her future husband Tom brought her to Rhode Island, USA. After one year in America, Acela started working as a deli clerk in the supermarket Stop & Shop. That same year, she got a license for a personal trainer and got a job at YMCA. In 2009, Acela decided to try modeling and put her profile online. Shortly after that, the modeling agency John Casablancas, located in Boston, Massachusetts, noticed her and invited her to study modeling. After graduating, Acela worked as a model in Boston.
Unfortunately in 2011, Acela separated from her husband. After that, she decided to come to Los Angeles. The following year, Acela discovered her love for writing and wrote her first poetry novel Flowers of Life, which she dedicated to her mother.
