Laura Loyola is the author of "El Destino de sus ojos" a novel published in Chile in 2010. After arriving in Australia in 2011 to complete a Master's in Architecture, her dreams were put on hold in 2014 when her daughter Emma was born with a rare syndrome that had only been known at the time by 200 in the world. Laura found comfort in writing stories for her daughter to keep hope alive. Having grown up in a family that loves classic fairy tale stories like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, Laura needed to write a fairy tale that would now fit the different circumstances of her life, showing her daughter that we don't need to fit into any 'normal' stereotype, that we can push ourselves, and that we should never give up reaching our goals.
