She reveals her disdain of the poor only to realize, to her chagrin, that she, too, was poor. Mai informs us of the painful way that she learned the difference between popularity and prestige while in high school. And she discloses the details of the heartfelt pain and shame of her prom. Lessons Learnt is an extremely honest book, sometimes painful, other times hilariously funny, which closely examines how Mai was affected by her childhood. She describes the challenges of growing up, how segregation affected her, and those teenage years fraught with curiosity, disappointments, and successes-all of which shaped her life's trajectory. The book includes her adult reflections of her childhood. It ends with a synopsis of the lessons she learned from those experiences. No matter if you get your ass beat, don't let nobody walk all over you.

This book is dedicated to… Oscar, and his partner in crime, Jason Sudeikis, for giving me a Colossal idea for a novel. Some people will do anything for the one they love… When big time Hollywood actor, Jay Daniels, meets small time Aussie author, Ari Travers, at her local writers’ group in Australia during a break in the filming of his current movie, he’s instantly taken with her wild style and creative streak, and she with his tousled brown hair, and sexy beard that highlights his dimples perfectly. After spending a week getting to know each other, he persuades her to let him read her latest novel, a novel so brilliant he’s determined to turn it into a blockbuster movie in which he stars. He puts his plan into motion; a plan to move her into his life and his New York brownstone, but all she wants is his lips on hers and for his tongue to do very wicked things indeed. Upon their arrival in New York, they’re greeted by Jay’s abusive ex-wife, who doesn’t let up over the following months. Ari soon realises it’s not going to be an easy path to loving Jay or to making him put her first in his very hectic life, which includes his two young children. When Jay’s growing control issues and anger over his ex-wife’s interference threatens their fledgling romance, Ari decides the heartache isn’t worth the pain and concedes by backing away, making a very obsessed Jay realise exactly how far he’s willing to go for the person he loves most.
