WOW! Congratulations to Joan Benedetti's husband! I watched the Emmy's
-- the WHOLE thing. And I saw him win the award. I was delighted
because A LESSON BEFORE DYING is a moving and wonderful book; so was the
HBO production! A must read and a must see! Ray Anne

A book should be a ball of light in one's hands.
