What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Ambitous’ Secret: Hope’s Story?
Behind every successful story, there’s normally also tales of failure, that we don’t get to see. So with this story, I wanted to show how and why ambitions, and/or the lack thereof, play an important part when dodging or accepting defeat. And I was motivated to write this story, based on the women in my life. As men, we tend to think that beautiful women have easy lives. And while that may be true throughout a lot of situations, the contrary quite often plays its hand as well. Sometimes, being beautiful can be a gift and a curse.
