Holy shiite, I completely forgot about this thread. We watched this a couple of weeks ago. Great stuff!
Staff - take out the trash.

Turns out my dad was mistaken- it was a producer's sister they met at St Anne's church in Houston.


Still very cool. The actress that plays Millie is from the Houston area. We did a book signing with her just before Christmas.

I will say everyone we met from the film was awesome and very nice. No crazy rude Hollywood type stories. Just all really cool down to earth people.

My parents were married there, so still relevant.

Very interesting thread. Did you tell Dolly about your connection to her movie "Best Little ***** House in Texas". It's got that Aggie lovin'?

Also found this in Stewade's 2018 review. By coincidence, my wife watched Dumplin' last night while I watched the damn sips dismantle Georgia. She said it was great. Congratulations to you and your wife, OP!

I also didn't know about this thread until I was looking at the year in review. My gf and I watched Dumplin' a couple weeks ago (before I knew about OP's connection) and we both really enjoyed it!

This is such a cool story -- thank you for sharing it with us. Congrats to your wife on her success with this book and I hope it continues!

I finished it last night.

It's a good movie. Very well done and I'm sure the book is even better.

My wife and I watched it. Very enjoyable flick. Congratulations! (On a side note, unbeknownst to me, my wife already had the book on a "to read" list before I mentioned this thread and the movie.)

Can you please ask the author if Bo was inspired, at least in part, by my time as an undergraduate?

Maybe I need to rewatch it, but I don't remember Bo turning tricks in blocker parking lot.

This is crazy. My wife's sister was Miss Teen Texas in '91. We watched the movie on Netflix and the first thing she said "how did they do this movie without her permission?" Holy crap only on TexAgs would such worlds collide.

To answer a few questions:

Mrsbeer05: Send her an email request through her website and mention this thread on Texags. Its the only way she tracks requests and things. It would all depend on her schedule. She is very busy right now writing her next books and I'm not sure what travel plans look like for the summer when she goes on tour.

Restone: no on so many levels

Staticdoor: Its kinda crazy how this all played out. There were so many time this project should have failed but the people involved believed in it and kept pushing forward. It wouldn't have happened without Jenn and obviously Dolly.

With a book sequel already out and middle grade set in the same universe coming out in October (Dear Sweet Pea) there's still a chance a they could pick up a sequel. So fingers crossed on that.
