Dear Janie P. Bess,
I just want to say Hi and that I love you!
This is Cynthia Denise Spencer--Thomasyne’s cousin. (You gave me the name “Green Lady”)
I enjoy your company every time I am around you.
You had called me a few months back to see if I had read your book yet… Actually, I had not started reading it at that time.
I didn’t have your phone number which leaves me to writing you.
Back to your book--Oh my God! When I started, I could not stop reading.
It kept me interested the whole way along. I cried with you, I laughed with you; I even took judgment on those doctors with you!
Your book really inspired me.
You are a special and strong woman. I admire your courage. I just love Li’l David as though I’ve known him all my life.
And—you have a wonderful family. Looking to hear from you soon!
Love Always,
Cynthia D. Spencer
California.
