About the Author

My name is Leinha. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on April 23, 1957. I lived most of my life in the suburban valley of Rio. I moved to the United States almost twenty-two years ago, and I am still living in the same town, in Florida. In 2003, I decided to write a book about my life when I was recovering from complications I had from a surgery. I wrote out of desperation in being without my children for so long. My motivation came from the amazing Oprah Winfrey, who encouraged her viewers to write about their lives. The beautiful things she did for so many people while her show was on the air touched me. I hope this book reaches the hands of others who are having a hard time in life, and I hope it gives them the courage and confi dence to push through and gain the life they want. As I said, “I wrote about my life with one goal in mind: To remember that good people want to do the right thing, but sometimes we cannot.” LEINHA IntriguingWaytoSucced@aol.com
