It was written by Corey Richens to help her sons cope with their father's death and explored the themes of grief and the presence of a deceased parent as a guardian angel; it was mentioned in a TV appearance that the book was intended to be the first of its kind.
"
Her mom popped up on Facebook and showed a picture of the book. And I was like, oh, it's on Amazon. And I thought, oh my God, I'm going to buy that book, you know?
We get this email and it's Cori Richenson saying that she wrote a children's book and it's what she believed to be the first book for kids on coping with grief.
I think what was appealing is that she was a grieving mother who was in her 30s raising three small kids.
So she got to work. She dedicated the book to her amazing husband and a wonderful father. It's about a little boy who has lost his dad.
And as he's going through his life, going to school, going on different adventures, he's wondering if his dad is still there. And they're trying to keep that memory a part of his life every day.

It was a self-published book by Shara Wright that was described as a fictionalized account of her turbulent relationship with Lorenzen, where she seemingly wanted to make him appear to be a bad guy.
"
She wrote and self-published a book called Mr. Tell Me Anything.
I think a lot of it may have been true but I think a lot of it still made up. I think a lot of it was still her perspective and she wanted to make him seem like a really bad guy.
The similarities between Shara and Lorenzen and the two main characters in the book are uncanny.
And as you're going through the book you're hearing claims of infidelity to domestic violence.
She goes, oh yeah, absolutely this happened. 99.9% of that book is our real life. I just changed some names around.

One of my favorite fictional detectives, Inspector McGrath, a series of books written in the sort of early and mid 20th century by George Simonone.
One of the things he would always say to the perpetrators of these horrendous crimes that he was trying to solve is, my job is not to judge, but to understand.
And he even formed relationships with some of these criminals in an effort to not condemn them, but to understand what made them tick because that was the driving force of his career.
