Ever heard of a good book? Well, I have. Lady Alice is a good writer. I enjoy her work.
I want it to be a TV show or a movie.

Sylvia Jacobs, I agree. Just that my life story is so bizarre that it would probably be tossed into the fiction section.
I wouldn’t put it in the fiction section.
Sylvia Jacobs, you might be the only one.
I disagree.
