Hi Jane. I am so glad you took an interest in this project. Yes, there is some interest. It will be easy to get others to share their stories. The problem I am thinking through now is how to address ACEs Science in the same book.. I have decided, after reading each contributor's story, to have them write a section on the aspect of the ACEs study that is most relevant to their story. Then the general ACEs section will be a good set up for the stories themselves.
Then, for continuity and consistency, when the stories are in (and much, as you might guess, has already been written) each contributor will review the other's, make suggestions, correct typos etc. I have been in touch with Dr. Felitti and he has agreed to help. This is his baby and I, having had this happen to me, do not want to stray from his original message and intentions.
Thank you again Jane. I hope we can keep in touch through this process. If you'd like, I could add you to the list of email recipients to keep you informed about our progress. If there's a way to do group mailings on ACEsconnection, I have not found it. So, send me your email address.
