Here is but only one representation of the kind of impact that having read All She Wanted has had on readers.

Dear Miss Jones,

I just finished your book All She Wanted. It was a very well written book. I love it.

I have always been a bit obsessed with the Brandon Teena story. Probably because I am a transgender myself. I just came out to myself and my family four months ago.

I am so emotional about this story. It speaks to me on so many levels. My questions to you if I may - Is John still on death row? Will there be a movie that is based on your book only?

I know you had a deal with FOX and they screwed you over. I watched Boys Don't Cry before and after reading your book. After reading your book, I was enraged. It is so sad to me they did not even mention Phillip. Phillip seemed like a very nice guy. They did not mention [him] so much.

Have you seen the documentary? It brought tears to my eyes. Do you think Lana had more to do with it than what she said? I am unsettled by the fact she got off scott free.

Why am I so obsessed with this? It is a story that has been done. Yet, I feel there could be more. Have you thought about making your own movie about your book? Filmmaking has always been my passion but I never went to school for it.

You are an incredible writer who has truly touched me. 

Thank you.
