Re: Lizzie, I feel jealousy allowed to fester can invoke much anger, causing a change to one's personality, mental and physical states, and resulting in harm, and destruction to others, as well. The commercials on the Lizzie TV movies are always sadistic, with creepy music - I haven't watched the movies, but wonder if they truly portray her as she was in her younger years, prior to the murders.<br /><br />bonnieroof60(at)yahoo(dot).com bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-78241336205472614642015-04-10T08:26:38.382-04:002015-04-10T08:26:38.382-04:00Thank you, Brenda!

We sang it while we jumped rope...the kind where two people held the ends and then one person jumped. I was fascinated by the story and looked it up in an encyclopedia and other books at the library. I decided she must have been very clever and was really guilty. Makes for a good story. Good luck with Sword of Forgiveness. Sounds like a good one.Martha W.

Her testimony changed so much, however, she was on hard drugs to calm her nerves and I suppose that could have affected her thoughts. And of course that show I watched on it also made me a little more bias toward guilty. And thank you for the kind words about my book!Debbie Lynne Costellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381517812227326616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-72816946581004218702015-04-07T13:57:21.684-04:002015-04-07T13:57:21.684-04:00ANGELA!!!
