Quotes:
“A gripping and topical story of staggering relevance to an untapped mass audience.”
Arthur Axelman, producer
“Susan’s ability to write characters that jumped off the page impressed me. The people she wrote about were real. The world she created was vivid. She told her story in such a way that I kept wanting to turn the pages and see what was going to happen. Susan Klos is a fine writer and I look forward to hearing more from her.”
Diane Lake, screenwriter “Frida”
“This is a powerful story -- which needs to be told and understood.”
Arthur Greenberg, Greenberg, Glusker
“There are awards to be won for this project.”
Sara Margoshes, SMA Literary Agency
“Schizophrenia is a topic more common in over-the-top thriller, not in hard, realistic dramas, which makes this story a refreshing take on the topic. Not only does it depict realistic characters with mental illness, but it does so with sympathy and understanding that makes the story wholly believable and unique. Overall, the story leaves a somber, but slightly hopeful note, which feels appropriate.”
