Rereading Old Journals Part Two

Lynn Redgrave’s Journal

I recently picked up last month’s Family Circle magazine and came across another interesting article on Lynn Redgrave. The actress kept a written journal of her fight with breast cancer. Her daughter, Annabel Clark, kept a photographic chronicle of her mother’s struggle with cancer, the removal of her breast, treatment and recovery.

Another What If? Prompt

While reading one of my favourite blogs, Literally Blogging, I felt the latest entry would make a terrific What If? prompt.
