Kaya represented Suzan Lewis, daughter of entertainment icon, Jerry Lewis, on her upcoming book, Jerry Lewis, My Father — Is Always In My Mirror. As co-author, this stunning memoir tells a unique story of growing up in the heart of NYC during the 50s and 60s when celebrities, politicians, and their favorite haunts dominated the social scene.
