Motivated by her love of yoga, Roman has written a book that not only teaches four poses, but shows how easy and accessible yoga can be.
Her new non fiction series, "If You Were Me and Lived in..." combines her teaching past with her love of exploration and interest in the world around us.

She plans to do Portugal, Greece, and Argentina next year.
Writing for children has opened up a whole second act for her. While she is still working in her family business, this has enabled her to share her sense of humor as well as love for history and culture with the audience she adores. Roman lives on Long Island with her husband and near her children.

My review:
Again another book with horrible illustrations and very useless information. I will give the author credit for writting about a different topic as I dont see many books about Turkey out there but I still did not enjoy the book and was disappointed with it.

My final verdict:
I would not recommend this book.

I would like to thank Red Feather Productions for letting me read and review this book.
