When asked about the potential for adapting her book into a movie, Yvonne Nelson shared that she does not envision herself taking on the role of producer for the project.
“ I don’t think I’ll be the one to produce it but I feel great that people are reading,” she indicated.

One of the key themes in Yvonne Nelson’s memoir is her strained relationship with her mother and the lingering questions about her father’s identity, however, she declined to speak about her mother’s response to the book and the revelations in there.
“I believe she’s also reading it and everyone else is reading so it’s a good thing,” she answered.
