As a single mum who has faced many of life’s challenges, Elle has observed the world around her. With a logical mind combined with a spiritual outlook inspired by the phrase ‘what is meant for you won’t pass you by’ and if there is any resonance in it. By observing people’s daily actions and how certain people meet success she wrote an everyday story based on ‘What if’ with undertones of how people overcome obstacles. Initially enthused by events around her the story is completely fictional.
