My First Book

I finished 'A Girl Named Zippy' in one rather long, slightly interrupted sitting last evening. A very enjoyable read which made me wonder as I fell asleep what a book about my childhood would be like. And I woke up thinking that it would be mostly about my mother. And by the time I crawled out of bed, I had outlined several chapters in my head. And I had the title. It would be called 'Almost Grace'. There would be a chapter about Grace and Sports. Grace Before Meals. Grace and the Sewing Machine. The Grace School of Compassion. Grace Speaks Her Mind. Grace's Favorites. Grace and Beauty. Grace and Education. Grace and Technology. There are 2 things that keep me from starting to actually write the book. First, my mother is very much alive and even though she is not an avid reader and she would never read anything I wrote on the computer, she does have an uncanny way of finding things out. Secondly, I have 4 children of my own and I don't want them getting any ideas.
But I think we may need a 'sister's weekend' to further my research. Maybe if was a collaborative effort Grace wouldn't be upset with just me. Is it possible to share the bottom spot on the list?
