Mrs. Phyllis Montana-Leblanc -

I know I'm coming to you long after the storm, the levees, and Mr. Lee's film, but I finally saw the film after wanting to since the documentary came out. I want to thank you - for being you, being real, your courage, your directness, your speaking the truth, your spunk, your opening your heart to those of us who will never have the pleasure of meeting you.

I can't wait to read your book.

Bless you and I wish you, your family, and Brooklyn, of course, all the very best.

Peggy in Seattle

Hi Phyllis,

Congratulations on your movie and book. Let me know how to contact you and Gina so I can look you up when I am in town. I tried the number you left for Barbara (Bush), but it was disconnected;-)

love,

Ami

P.S. Is Cheryl still in L.A.?

Phyllis,

I am sitting here obsessing on our unwanted anniversary as it is coming up in just a month. There are still many spots in the city that induce a "weeping" reflex when I drive through. I was feeling particularly down tonight so I popped Spike's movie in the dvd player and saw your incredible face. I googled you and was delightfully surprised to learn about the book. Naturally I'm getting it. It's released the day after my birthday so call it my gift to myself. I was going to pre-order on the net but thought it would be better if I buy locally and support our economy. Do you have any book signings planned? That would be a real treat for me. I would be eternally grateful if you could email me with any info. Is there a site I can go to for updates? Thank You so much not only for the information but also for getting so many people to pay attention.

Congratulations on your new home and your new book. Do you also have a blog? If you do, I'd love to read that along with your book (which I've added to my TBP list.)

Intro: Mrs. Phyllis Montana-Leblanc

Phyllis Montana Leblanc — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:50:13 -0500

Hello, My name is Phyllis Montana-Leblanc. I am from and still live in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am a Hurricane Katrina Survivor! I was featured in Spike Lee's HBO Film Documentary: "WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE." My husband and I just moved out of a FEMA TRAILER 3 MONTHS AGO. We just purchased our NEW HOME. Ihave a 16month old Yorkshire Terrier (male) named BROOKLYN, THE LOVE OF MY HEART! Through Spike Lee's amazing vision, he introduced me to a publisher, SIMON&SCHUSTER,NY. And an AGENT, WILLIAM-MORRIS AGENCY,LLC. N.Y. I now have a Hurricane Katrina Memoir due to be published AUGUST 19,2008, "NOT JUST THE LEVEES BROKE." I have four sisters and one brother. I am a middle child. I was born December 24,1963. I don't have any children but my husband,Ron and baby, Brooklyn. I love helping people in my own way. I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in equality for all. I am never a judge only an observer and advocate of peace, togetherness and love. That's all for right now. I am hopeful that our world in which we live in can change for the better. I believe that we can REMOVE HATE WITH LOVE. I really do.
