luma is a story about remembering what can’t be lost, only hidden.
I wrote luma for us. As a reminder and an invitation.
It’s an illustrated story with a deep meaning that travels across cultures and generations.
To help us all remember who we are before the world asked us to become someone else.
It’s a gift for all ages and a catalyst for deeper relationships with the people we love.
