(excerpted from Reader’s Q & A)

Q. (Monique) Joseph, is it true that you did not know who Oprah was?

Joseph: ‘Yes, that is true. I have not had cable or a TV for most of the last eleven years, to help strengthen the mind and heart of my son, and focus on reading and speech development. I still don’t watch television, and after women kept mentioning her name during the pre-edit test readings of the first 110 pages, I had to seeK this soul out. I didn’t know then (I am a fast learner) so I started watching Oprah’s programs at different people’s places, and I know who she is now. She is smart and kind, a very rare and fortunate example of tribute in this life.’ Heck, we might just be meant to help people together...

Who’s on what, where?

I have spent a considerable time in the wilderness, off and on over the years. There is something even more remote in my life - no remote. I have not had cable tv for 11 years. Now that’s a good thing, my son started reading at age two. He does not play video games daily, though, at times with his cousins and school chums. He also refuses to buy chocolate bars and pop with his bottle money, instead he buys books.

Oprah Who show? Who’s that?

When I finished the first rough edit of the book in August 2005, I gave a copy of the first 110 pages to a friend of mine, Colleen. Well, now I had two woman encouraging me... Colleen was so enthusiastic about the writing and the story she was the first one that said, ‘Oh my God, this is so good, you’re gonna be on Oprah! I said thanks... who’s Oprah? Well, I found out Oprah is a very decent and well-respected interview host, I know because I made a point of getting in front of a television to watch her shows (you probably know of her too, she is very popular).
