Rebecca herself grew up with angst and self-discovery without any help from outside sources and she often felt that she couldn't relate to the numerous amount of fairytales or stories about romance or finding the one. In response, she made her own stories in hope that she could help kids with their internal conflicts and to teach them about how to safely deal with it while still being able to relate and know about what is healthy and realistic and what is not. Rebecca is constantly fighting to expose kids to sexuality and what love truly is- it doesn't matter what gender they are or who they like, “love is love, and a person’s sexuality shouldn’t be treated differently from another’s.”(TheOdysseyOnline.com).
