Its a published and be damned situation isn't it? If its all true that's fine, but who is to say that it is true?

Katherine. in this particular case, I don't think he deserved kindness.

Eeleenlee – I think you'd enjoy the book. I haven't read Mommy Dearest though…

Though there is a kindness in changing names and events – whether the kindness is required is a whole different matter.

Whether it will be interesting and something someone else would want to read, that is another story.
