Karen,

Just reading the question not yet answered. Lorraine is right. Please write your own version. Dr. Baer did not really touch on YOUR suffering but more of his own. I am glad to be in England where the title read A Life in Pieces “A WOMAN’S harrowing story…” It’s not Richard Baer’s harrowing story it’s yours. Why not visit England? You are welcome in our country! I am fitfully inspired by your blog. A BOOK in itself. If any agent can’t see that they are BLIND; BLIND as bats! If I were an agent I would be hunting you down. Please find your way to us.

Dear Sonya,

Thank you for sharing!  I understand your feelings about the text on the cover of my story.  I’m glad the version in Great Britain switched to a “woman’s harrowing story”, but please know that those decisions about what goes on the cover are made by the publisher, not me or Dr. Baer. Whichever way you look at or read our story, it’s bound to stir up frustration in some people, mistrust in others, skepticism in those who can’t comprehend, and love in those who can empathize with what happened to me. My story is difficult to read for many.

Thank you for being inspired by my blog. I appreciate hearing that. And thank you for your comments and opinions. Maybe someday I can afford to travel to the UK.

Karen
