Author Leighanne Boyd has laid her pen game down. Her writing style is captivating and she tells a great story. "Once Upon A Time in the Bricks" is a must read.

I can't wait for her to pen her next novel as I will be on the look out for this young lady. Leighanne has heart -warming pages about the author and to the readers, I for 1 am glad she didn't give up on her dream to become a writer.
