Ella doesn't show up directly in All to Pieces, but she appears in Jimmy's thoughts at critical moments. Ella is the character through which the entire world of Unmentionables unfolded for me. I first became interested in writing when, on a lark, I attended a past life regression workshop. To my great surprise, under hypnosis I recalled living as a slave on a small family farm in Tennessee. Ella is the person whose life I recalled living. Make of that what you will, I feel certain that my interest in this world comes from somewhere--somewhere I don't fully understand. One of my strongest "memories" is about Ella's experience of giving birth, which I hope to write about in a future volume.
