Episode 18: JOY with Anne-Marie Alexander

In this week's episode, Carol talks to Anne-Marie Alexander. The Raise Word for this episodes is JOY. Anne-Marie is a single Mum of 3, a painter & decorator and an author/screenwriter. Multi-tasking is her middle name! She has written 2 mainstream novels - A Rampage of Chocolate and A Rampage of Grace. They are both witty, sensitive books that tackle real issues. A Rampage of Chocolate tackles the issue that most of us struggle with at some point - the feeling that we are not good enough and the desperate (but futile search) search for the approval of others. Ultimately the lead character, Laura, has to come to the place where events don't define her and she understands the hope that is placed within her. She has recently converted this book into a musical film script. All of the songs and script are designed to fill the audience with validation, encouragement and hope. It really is a joyous filmscript and all the people who attended our first readthrough left full of joy and smiling from ear to ear!
