CAST OF CHARACTERS FOR GVCD

“Jackson’s care of his family gave me pause to think about my own sacrifice for my family.”

“ Laurel reminds me of myself in H.S. and in college. Like Laurel, I was so caught up in theater work, and spent a great deal of time there hiding from intimacy in my relationships.“

“I want to be a ‘Barb’ and receive people and give lavishly, sacrificially like she did.”

“Emma touches something very deep inside of me. I love her honest dialogue with God.”

These are just a few examples of the very personal comments shared about the reading of The Green Velvet Christmas Dress.

The following list has more than 30 characters that all played integral and smaller supportive roles in the telling of this story.  

Can you help me by being terribly candid about how certain characters touched your story?

Please choose 2, no more than 3 characters you identified with, and write about it. Try to write from your heart-to the pen-to the paper. Try not to edit yourself. Don’t write chapters as there is a limitation of space. 

When you write me, share some info about yourself: how you came in contact with the book, how you would like your name listed if we use your comment (first names only will be used.   For example, Melea, mom and truth-teller  Write to me at my email [email protected]

Thank you! It means so much that you’d help me with this… Melea
