It reminded me of all the Tamla Motown music I'd loved as a teen. When I first presented it to the publisher each chapter had a couplet of lines from Tamla Motown songs. I even called the main character 'Brenda' after a Four Tops song. The publisher said all the song lyrics would have to go as it would cost too much to buy the copywrite or whatever. Sad. So the book had a kind of mute soundtrack for me anyway.Anne Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122890017026913723noreply@blogger.com
