JUSTICE HAS GONE WITH THE WIND, SO I MUST BE THE HERO


People are talking about their disappointment with Harper Lee's book that followed GONE WITH THE WIND. The hero has been tarnished. 

My life has been full of miserable challenges caused mostly by bad people, by betrayal and abuse by people who were supposed to be friends and protectors - by loss, and finally by deaths and my own illness. I see reality and so much of it is horrible and unjust. 

Yet my early indoctrination by my father and the movies of the 1940's instilled in me an idealism that I refuse to give up. I still look for the rainbow and the bluebird and the hero, and seeing that there are no heroes, I make myself the hero who will fight for justice to my last breath.

If there are no other heroes, I must be one.

IT IS ALL ABOUT JUSTICE.
