Brandy. I’ve read your book and love it!!!!! You should be working with a screen writer! Your story is a “page turner”!!!!!! You have a HIT on your hands my dear!
I had no idea you had endured so darn much pain. Way too much for one person….
So glad you have now found a loving husband to share life’s journey with you! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Keep in contact.
Warmest hugs
Doris Freadrich
Thanks, Doris! It means so much to me that you loved the book. I do want to work with screenwriter soon. Take care, and all the best for 2015!
Hi Brandy:
Just wanted to send a quick note to say how totally enthralled I am with your book. I’m at page 100 and can’t put it down. Doris said it….you’ve got a hit on your hands! Well, we hope it all happens for you. Not many of us have such crazy-intense, multi-faceted true-life stories to tell the world. While you’ve had to deal with way too much heavy and painful stuff, you fortunately chose to share your story, AND, you know how to write. I mean, you really know how to write! There are many parts of your story (sometimes just a single sentence or handful of words) that have become imbedded in my head and my heart. Brilliant stuff! It’s one thing to ‘have a story’ but it takes a huge amount of self-realization and skill to make that story sing!
I still have a lot more reading to do, but I’m already agreeing with Doris’s reaction. Your book could/should be a film. This would be one helluva project, but as the say, “Aim high!” Who knows? Your book might be just what some filmmaker is looking for! But even if your story doesn’t go beyond being the superb book that it is, you have honoured yourself with a very significant and personal achievement. To say ‘congratulations’ doesn’t seem quite enough.

Thanks so much, Rick! I’m over the moon to hear your feedback. I hope you and Doris can come to one of my local readings sometime. Cheers to you!
