[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 319770, member: 7083"] Marg - She's not actually sending the letter to the author. It's a contest where they have to write a letter to any author, but it is a required assignment. Whether the letter will get forwarded to the author, I don't know, but she didn't provide any contact information for him. I *loved* that book. It's my new favorite book. She got it in the teen section, but I think it's really a stretch to be in the teen section. As far as her relating to it the way she says she did....there is no comparison between her life and the character's life. None. She connected with the book - it is her favorite book, too - and she's using it that way. As far as pulling her back, I can sometimes do that. I do like you and break it down. Generally, I have her take a break first to work off the frustration, then break it down and make it manageable. Like you, it is my normal. And, yes, it is exhausting. Sharon, she is a very good writer, especially when she can write creatively without having to fill certain requirements as taught in 9th grade English. She expresses herself very well and is very articulate. This letter was also heavily edited. She worked on the form with her PCA. What I read originally was much worse. I wish this was just teen angst. According to therapist and what I live with, it's in another ballpark. [/QUOTE]
