Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made

by Donna Grant, Virginia DeBerry


Gayle Saunders and Patricia Reid were total opposites who chose each other as best friends when they were children. Through the years they were raised together, as close as sisters.

    Last week we were in LA for Book Expo America and we also had dinner with the star of Tryin’ to Sleep in the Bed You Made, Regina King!!!

    It’s amazing to us that there are two of our books (Far From the Tree too--more on that later), heading toward “Action!” ANYWAY--Regina has a question for you--what are the FIVE moments from the book you HAVE to see in the movie? Our script is running long and you know we can’t bring every scene, word for word from the book—that would be a mini-series!

    But we want to try to bring your favorite moments to the screen. So please let us know by Wednesday, June 11th. From your responses, we’ll select one randomly chosen reader (we’ll be fair!) to receive a galley of our newest new book, What Doesn’t Kill You, which will be out in January ’09.

    You can comment, email us at deberryandgrant@gmail.com
    Thanks!!
