Hubby thought I was crass and insensitive for saying that 2 months ago!
I certainly look forward to both book(s) and movie(s). And though it is a tragedy that thrust her into the public eye, Beth is one helluva woman who has a lot to contribute to all of us if she becomes a public figure, motivational speaker, talk show host, or whatever.
Oh, and I hope the ending to the book/movie is: Urine, Depak, Satish, Rueben, Yellow Jacket, Tito, the prosecutor, the police chief, et al, are in jail for life, and Urine, Satish and Deepak are the "wives" of big, dark, well-endowed men.
From Beth, Dave and Jug, we have learned self-control, grace, maturity, faith, and how an adult faces unbearable pain and suffering combined with the unfairness and criminality of the actions (and inaction) of evil people. As a man, I cannot imagine the self-restraint Jug and Dave have exercised. For one thing, I would have sent Paul Vander Slut to a plastic surgeon the first time his face was within reach of my fists.
Actually, come to think of it, Mississippian Sela Ward perhaps should play Beth on screen when the time comes.
