Speaker 1:

Well, everything I write, kelly, is tapped from my family, everything. So I know that that's kind of a bold statement to make, because obviously there's wars in my books, there's things my family didn't have any control over, there's love affairs, there's things that go on, but the but, the energy center, the nuclear center, of everything that's ticking is my family. So this is my great grandmother who probably, if I wrote her story back in time, I think you would enjoy it. But I wanted to take those sensibilities because I feel that while some things have changed, the essential nature of a man and a woman kind of has not. Yeah, and the way I see it in writing, jess, as this put upon character, who is on her way, once she divorces, to being the maiden aunt in the family taking care of the aging period, I mean, they put you in a role, yeah. So I wanted to write the novel that tells the story of the woman that says you know what? I want to do it differently.
