Not to stay on this topic forever, but here is an article from someone who went to Hazelden (the same detox facility as Frey) and has, I think, some excellent things to say on the subject. I hope the link works.
Gayle Brandeis says on her blog that she has refrained from exploring the Frey scandal in depth, but makes a good point, in my opinion: "I have been preoccupied with lies that feel more pressing and dangerous--the blatant lies of our administration. If only the media could latch on to those lies with the same wolf-pack ferocity they've shown with these publishing scandals." I agree and keep thinking "if only..." Still, James Frey doesn't have the power to control and manipulate the media in the massive way that our current administration does.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
