Frrom her notes: "That I became a songwriter at the age of 12 is due as
much to the times, as to my talent. from the frist, I firmly believed
my efforts would help turn the world into a beter place. Listening to

my faith was born of insight, or naivete. I was born into a country
that would soon divide."
