What others are saying about "Hazel Eyes":

"Maritza M. Mejia, author of "Hazel Eyes", truly has an art to convey well her experiences in this memoir. It will probably be the most unique book you'll ever read. It covers her early childhood, living life in Colombia, her older years studying, and living abroad, and takes you right through her adulthood, coming to live in America. This book is interesting and one you'll look back upon and recall Mrs. Mejia's simple, yet meaningful tales!"    - Author Lisa Waters

"Through the eyes of the author we take a journey through her own spiritual awakening. Most of us have had some sort of awakening at a point in our life and I found it extremely interesting to compare the author's experiences with my own. Though our backgrounds are very different, there are so many feelings and insights that we have in common, many common beliefs! This book will help you recall many precious things that our busy days sometimes make us forget. I highly recommend this book!!" – MaryAnn -

 y ganador del Latino Book Awards 2016

Por autora Rose Marie Tapia R.

"Un testimonio hermoso de fe. Atrapa al lector desde las primeras páginas, ese es el verdadero talento del escritor. Leí el libro de corrido, sin interrumpir para nada.
Hay similitudes en la historia con la mía: la muerte de mis padres, que me hicieron conectarme con la autora. Me emocionó las escenas de la despedida de su madre.
En fin es un testimonio de amor, fe y esperanza. Felicitaciones a la autora".

the Legend of the Colombian Mermaid by Janet Balletta 

The Good Friday Legend Lives On ​Review By Lisa Waters

"Janet Balletta, created an intriguing story furthering a mermaid legend in her mysterious and magical book titled the Legend of the Colombian Mermaid. It keeps the tradition of this ancient legend going year-after-year occurring on Good Fridays during Easter week. The original legend dating back since 1917 took place in a town called Valledupar in Colombia where a young girl defied her parents and went swimming in the enticing river waters on Good Friday. According to the legend the girl was cursed and turned into a mermaid as she was full of disobedience and did not observe the traditions of Good Friday, a holy day observed by Catholics."
