"Once upon a time ... My life" is the result of a dream several nights coupled with many feelings acquired throughout life, which mingled with ideas that emerged as each word and situation was being written. 

It is a book that tells a story of strength, courage, feelings and beliefs struggle, difficult resolutions, love, and hope of a woman whose life must seek a direction and a new direction. 

Anyone who has read it, says with emphasis that each word has caused them various feelings beyond that its reading is very easy, despite the 300 pages.

"My dear friend, to read this book yet your manuscript, filled my heart with joy. The more I read, the more I wanted to read, giving me more days culled joy to be able to live. Always said that one day you would edit. I thank you very, very much! Much strength and courage for you to write more. You have character, and are loving friend of his friend. Force "- Maria Manuela Sousa Estevam 

Given the economic situation of the household, the author is unable to realize the dream of seeing your book published, by resorting to this form to raise € 2,730 for their achievement. 

The Chiado Editora undertook to distribute the work across the country, and perform the launching session. It will also be available for order at bookstores Saraiva and Culture network in Brazil. After selling 3,000 copies will be translated into Spanish and published and distributed by Editorial Chiado and also translated into English and edited and distributed in England, Ireland and USA through Chiado Publishing.

About the author

Litas Ricardo was nicknamed as a child by people who really loved her from an early age who writes, with "Once upon a time ... My life" is a story that began at age thirteen. 

On school grounds, lost ten handwritten sheets that found after 10 years. By reading every word, decided to develop each situation, depending, perhaps, from their experience, thus resulting in a story that certainly any reader easily will review in some way, as happened to the people who already read. 

Loves theater, having worked for 17 years with children in this area which also rehearsed and acted. Often, also wrote for the performances. Also at the school where he worked, was part of a jury in a literary contest. 

Fighter, always brimming willingness believes that every life story is a lesson for those who read it, determining each experience and also believes that his work can help someone.

"To the brave and courageous woman, for fun colleague, sincere companion, and great partner. For the best friend that "God" put in my life. I whish you the realization of all your dreams and greatest desires. A big smack "- Ana Maria Peça

Budget and due dates

Publishers who have made a proposal for the book launch, I opted for Chiado Editora that "after analyzing literary and commercial, editorial acknowledged the work with potential." It was further proposed the translation to Spanish and English to be edited and distributed in Spain and England, Ireland and USA respectively. The work will have a value of 15 € that for the remaining two publishers, is cheaper at the rate of € 5, causing me to have no hesitation in its acceptance Budget: € 2600 for publishing are needed, which adds value to 5 % for PPL, and the total amount needed - € 2730 Goal: be supported 100% within two months, so that the work can be presented in December
