Waited to read this final chapter until Christmas Day as a little treat of my own. Barb--I truly adored this story. I felt that we'd have been fast friends as kids...and am dying to hear more about Mr. charles...is he real? Did you stay in touch? That relationship was so intriguing. I await HS and college stories Barbie!! Please, pretty please! I can totally see this on screen...
As I have said all along, I was always left wanting more, as I am now. The Gold (pause) fish is an amazing “hypothetical” memoir that brings back simpler times contrasted with complex family dynamics. Reading about Barbie’s challenges was made easier knowing how amazing you are now!
Bravo, Barb Ward. You have so many talents and it is a gift to us all that you circled back to this one. Destiny. This is a natural coming of age for the screen, your writing is both personal and cinematic, not an easy accomplishment. I look forward to reading the high school and college years. Don't keep your audience waiting too long!
Awww… thanks Kier! Coming from you, that’s a huge compliment! And of course, there’s always that cast of characters from the Kappa Sigma UCLA frat house! There’s plenty to be mined there, god help us! 😂❤️
Wow, it was beautifully concluded, but it left me wanting more! It made me compare my childhood to your childhood and how it impacts us as adults. It made me think a lot about you and the woman that you became. I think adversity is very good for us or it could be very bad. Thank goodness for you. It was amazing.

Thanks Jamie! I count myself so lucky to be an honorary member of the Weinstein family. With you guys, I’m always home. ❤️
