SELLING MY RIGHTS to my finished MANUSCRIPT "PROMISES"

My book, “PROMISES”, is the true story of what actually happens when those with money and power obliterate the truth, and create their own reality.  PROMISES will touch the heart of anyone that has loved a child or has faced an obstacle too great to surmount.  "PROMISES", will show where there is life, there is hope, and in turn peace. Although, my book PROMISES does have tough topics in it that most people would find difficult to believe really happened.  However, all are true and court documented.  I thought that perhaps I would write it as fiction; however, I believed that the truthfulness of my remarkable story would be lost.  Many of the people in my book have passed on. However, as I mentioned the validity of what is in my manuscript called “PROMISES”, is attested to in numerous Court Cases/Documents.  “PROMISES” has been registered with the Library of Congress.

 

Romantic Tragic drama - Based on the incredible, but true, bizarre, and disastrous 35 year roller coaster affair of a young middle-class Irish woman from Chicago in the late 1950s who is swept off her feet by an infamous Chicago industrialist, a 22-year-older multimillionaire playboy. However, as a man who had lived an incredible life. However, he told me he was now ready to settle down with me, the woman he had waited for his entire life.

 

It begins as a magical story of love, hope, and marriage plans, and I discover within a year that every aspect of my life are changing and not for the positive.  Things that I would have never wished on someone else let alone me! Although, our son is truly the best thing that has ever happened in my life.  I would not change my life if it meant not having him in it.  Strange, I owned a Retail Bridal Shop for over 24 years in Chicago, and never was a bride.  Who would have ever thought when they looked at the remarkable young woman that she was breaking apart inside?  I sometimes wondered how I was able to consult the wide-eyed brides that would pass through the door of my shop everyday for all those years. All topics written in my manuscript has been accomplished with much depth and empathy of the others Life Choices.

 

Deceit, betrayal, top attorneys, movie community, homosexuality, transvestitism, Hollywood, searching all these years for my kidnapped daughter who was separated from her twin brother at birth, abortion, abuse, violence, and murder threats have all been part of the fabric of my life for the past thirty-five years.

 

When I was 22, Philip, a multimillionaire camera tycoon swept me off my feet.  Together, we dated for a year, found love and planned our wedding.  However, after a single night of passion, I learned I was pregnant and the man I loved turned away from me.  Yet despite his rejection, he persisted to say, "Trust me everything is going to be all right."  

 

After nine months, I gave birth to twins.  I took my son home with me, but my daughter was taken.  I did not know that I had given birth to twins until I was told three months later. I spent the next thirty-five years in the courts, fighting to keep my son safe, and searching for my daughter.  Over the years, Senators, high profile Lawyers, Banks, and others of influence conspired to keep the truth from me, and to perpetrate deception that reached into the life of numerous people. His money and power in Chicago bought him whatever he needed.  Detectives followed me and watched me all the time.  Telephones were tapped. I did not have to do anything to cause conflict in life.  He just did not want to let me go.  Telling me that I was the only woman, he ever loved.  In my manuscript, you will find out all the details concerning what I just said.

 

My book “PROMISES” has not been written as a nasty tell all book. It is a true appraisal of my life and the life of our child who went through all of this, and he came through it as a loving adult/parent.  I would be so delighted if you would purchase my manuscript with plans to take it to the big screen.

 

Much interest has been given to PROMISES, for publication and screenwriters to take it to the big screen. My decision is to try to sell the rights to my Manuscript “PROMISES”. My original writing of the manuscript was 893 pages.  It was professionally edited down to 435 pages.  The Sale of my manuscript would give you my original manuscript and the edited manuscript.

                                         CHAPTER 1

 

 

            My head rests in my trembling hands. It is impossible for me to believe that so many years have passed. So many thoughts fill my head; some are joyful and others filled with pain.

Positioning the phone back on the hook, my tears are flowing down my face. I would not wish my experiences throughout the years on an enemy, much less myself. I am trembling so badly that I cannot control my hysteria.  My mother is beside me offering comfort.  She hands me a crystal goblet of brandy, hoping it will ease my pain. I drink it slowly, yet I am still completely traumatized.

The crystal goblet falls out of my hand. I watch helplessly, as it shatters into thousands of pieces on the floor, just like the shattered pieces of my life.  "How can this be happening?" I cry out.

 The pile of crystal sparkles, as if it were on fire. I stare at the broken glass, wondering if I will ever put the pieces of my fractured life back together. Can I ever reach a turning point of usefulness in my life again? As I stared further into the glass shards, I could not believe my eyes.

"NO! It can't be!" Within the pile of shattered crystal, the shape of the person I see becomes clear. I fall to the ground in tears.  Pieces of glass cut my hands. "This has to be a nightmare."  It is clear to me that there will be no more promises.

Our romance started out with great tenderness and love, but slowly turned into the most horrific disaster of my life.  Day by day, minute-by-minute, there were hills and valleys of unspeakable darkness that most individuals would find hard to envision and impossible to live. It was a life full of empty promises.

"Just trust me," he would say. "Everything is going to be all right." 

Why did I have confidence in him? How could I allow my life to slip away in front of my eyes?

"Oh, my God! I AM NOT READY FOR THIS!"  As I pulled myself up onto a chair, I remembered how this all began.
