Inspired by a lecture given by author Terry McMillan (Waiting to Exhale), Jackson
bought the Packard on credit. "I'd get up at 3 a.m., drag myself to the computer and
get cranking until 7," she recalls. "Then I'd be out the door for work at
7:30." She finished a first draft in six weeks and sent it to an agent, who called
her with good news only two days after submitting it to Simon & Schuster. "She
told me to sit down," says Jackson. "Then she said, `How does $200,000
sound?'"

From Kirkus Reviews , 03/01/96: A seamless, convincing, and gruelingly honest first
novel, by the 25-year-old Jackson, portrays worlds known to many Americans only through
the evening news.
