The author has led a fairly interesting life, making some bad choices, suffering several tragedies. I think Ms. Callard must be a talented actress, though I would not know as yet because her t.v. series have all been in Great Britain. Perhaps someday I will be able to view her on screen in action. She has many fans that is for sure.

Thank you for telling your story survival. I am a big fan of Coronation Street. I liked Liz McDonald. You have gone through some awful things and but look where are you know. Keep up the strength and bravery that you are at this point in time. Always remember that you have done yourself proud. You are an inspiration to all.
