HERE’s something I’ve found to be true time and again. Basically, I’ve come to learn that books are wonderful things as they can give us glimpses of different worlds, different experiences and different lives.

I had such an experience not too long ago when I picked up a copy of a book written by a 33-year-old Filipino author named Maria Kathrina Lopez Yarza, or Kcat Yarza for short, through her website, www.kcatyarza.com.
