Lois,
I was the single woman at [your grandniece’s] wedding last fall. You sat at my table. As a 65-year-old, I quickly find a place to sit rather than stand in high-heels. I enjoyed our visit at the restaurant.
When [your niece] gave me your book to read, I was quite impressed. I loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I enjoyed all the stories. My hero, of course, was Marvin. I am sure you wrote the book that way. I am sorry that I did not get an opportunity to meet him the night of the wedding.
I hope your book does really well. Your story deserves a wide audience. It’s not just for nurses!
My son-in-law is a Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry in Tucson. He was just licensed for that field last summer.
A true story that was recently on TV is a book that I read in 2005. A Smile As Big As the Moon. The Hallmark channel played it on prime time a couple of Sundays ago and they will re-run it on the Hallmark Channel for a while. Absolutely wonderful true story.
Perhaps someone will offer to buy the rights to your story. I think it would be great. And maybe Meryl Streep would be cast as Lois!
Why not dream big? I look forward to visiting with you again some day.

Write Along with Me 
This proves that getting our nursing stories out for the public to read makes a difference. Lois, your book really impressed Linda Gard. She will tell others about your story. And just maybe a movie will be made. And Meryl Streep cast as Lois Roelofs! Hope it happens.

Wouldn’t that be fun. We could go to Hollywood together to see the filming.
