Laurie Gelman:
Does the word, "novel" imply fictional in any way? Did you have to change the names to protect the innocent? I was PAC President at my kid's elementary school. At our first PAC meeting the Principal asked for $37,000. (The median household income in our town.) That's when I first learned of the words, "Table that."

I'm comfortable with the word novel, but a lot of Jen's life does come from my own - especially her experiences as the sandwich generation. My condolences in having to ever go to a PAC meeting that isn't run by Jen Dixon!
