What People Are Saying
For the last month I have been slammed with one project after another besides promoting my book. Doing three and four Zooms a day not to mention Skypes, podcasts and radio phoners. Also late each night for two hours I personally contact at least 50 people on personal message facebook with a book promotion as I did you. About a week ago I did something really stupid at this busy time in my life. Going to bed at 1 AM I said to myself ” I think I’ll read a couple of pages of Georgia’s book. I was hooked. Finally early this morning I finished the last chapter. I don’t know where to begin. Let me start here. “What a Fucking ride” Your roller coaster life had me wincing and ducking and bobbing and weaving and loving and hating. I wanted to protect you, fight for you, make love to you and grab you by the shoulders and say “if you go back to that son of a bitch one more time I’ll take him out myself”. As an actor we’re taught that the worst thing that can happen to us is when the audience walks out after your performance and they felt nothing. After reading your book there wasn’t one emotion I didn’t feel. I felt “Everything” Bravo. Bravo. My prayer now for you is that you’re at peace. You truly deserve it.
This is my all time favorite book.. Thank You so much!!
