It is a new day for author, Regina LaFrance. Her present day experience signifies taking her power back—away from shame and toward freedom. Shame would no longer rob her from experiencing a fuller life. She deserves better. She deserves more. She knows that now, more than ever. And she is taking action, unbound by the grip of her haunted past, as reflected through her semi-autobiographical novel, SHAYLA. A release unto itself. Now making the most of her moments in the present, Regina flips her life script and leaps off from where she came—to all that life could be, as truly liberated.
