Born in 1894 to a wealthy Peruvian landowner, Lola was seduced at an early age, disowned and forced to leave her father's plantation.  Twice widowed with three children by age 21, she braved a British blockade and German U-boats off the coast of South America in her quest for security and happiness. 
   It's Just Lola is loosely based on the life of the author's grandmother.  The story had many gaps, all of which were filled with fiction.

Lola has her own website with more videos. She often appears on ​ Dixiane Hallaj's Author Page on Facebook.

A must read for anyone who enjoys a good story; the triumph of good over evil, with enough historical facts to illustrate an era, in a different country and culture.
Linda Miller
You'll fall in love with Lola...To make it even better, she's real!  I thoroughly enjoyed walking through her life and gaining from her courage.
Suzanne L. Walls
Dixiane Hallaj is a particularly good writer of social, historically placed, politically pointed drama...This is the history of a very ordinary daughter of gentry, turned extraordinary by the turmoil that swirled through and around her life...The writing is of high quality, the script is captivating, and we learn as much about  Lola's times as we would from the very best of historical documentary. What is more, Hallaj seems to be able to paint incredibly detailed pictures without ever seeming to use more than the fewest of words to do so.    --Richard L W Bunning
