I first noticed this brilliant woman at a conference. I remember being impressed by her questions. I introduced myself and she allowed me to join her for lunch. We quickly became friends and later worked together. While walking on the beach in Monarch Bay, she told me her story. When I decided to write this book we met at Fashion Island, ordered hot chocolate and turned on the recorder. Knowing Shan now, I can see that she has always been a woman of great strength and wise beyond her years. I am still impressed and honored that today I call her my friend.
Shan’s story is Change.
