Why Did I Write This Book?
“I wrote this book to share the experiences and encounters that defined my time in San Francisco. It’s a form of self-expression for me, a way to channel creativity into something that might make people laugh or, at the very least, feel good. Above all, I hope readers come away with a sense of the authenticity of the city — it’s a place that never ceases to surprise, and I wanted to capture that.” – Soraya Bodorff.
