She told us she was in suspense (while writing the book) too, as if she was reading it.

I had to read it for home school. It is sort of a mystery, and it was so detailed. I like books like that and I love puzzles. It (the book) didn't spell anything out for you. You had to read it carefully.

Jimmy arranged to buy the film rights to the book. He wanted to meet her and interview her in December, and, of course, we had to go with him.

I got a few books on tourist attractions, and I studied a National Art Museum book. I saw some of the real paintings. It's neat to see the real-life paintings up close.

We met a man who came to film us interviewing Lovett and walked a ways down the road to the retirement village to meet her.

She was really excited to see Caroline. Jimmy told Lovett that Caroline was the reason that he came to see her. She (Lovett) was very open and shared facts about her life. We got to learn a lot about who she was.
