Okay, okay, so this hometown girl hasn\u2019t made it big yet, and I may never make it big. But for the first time in a long time, my hometown paper, The Le Mars Daily Sentinel<\/a> ran a story about me in which I am not:<\/p>\n

a)\u00a0\u00a0 Perched on an improvised Sopwith Camel
\nb)\u00a0\u00a0 Sporting a green, ratted up-do
\nc)\u00a0\u00a0 Dressed as a hedgehog
\nd)\u00a0\u00a0 Garbed in theatrical black
\ne)\u00a0\u00a0 Pretending to be someone I\u2019m not, and having a jolly time doing so<\/p>\n

Instead, the story<\/a> is the first of what I hope will be many newspaper stories about my new book. My goal isn\u2019t to get my picture taken, though it was fun when the reporter, who is also my old friend Beverly Van Buskirk, snapped my photo in front of our former high school. And my goal isn\u2019t to create a big fan base, though it was fun to get a congratulatory FaceBook note from a former high school classmate.<\/p>\n

My goal is to get A Different Dream for My Child<\/em> into the hands of parents who need answers and hope as they deal with their children\u2019s health issues. Bev\u2019s article helped realize that goal because the former classmate who sent me the FaceBook note also has a special needs son. She\u2019s eager to buy the book. And if it helps her and her family, no matter how many or few copies are ultimately sold, I will have made it plenty big.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
