Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Once a happily married businessman, an avid golfer, and the proud owner of several luxury cars and three boats, conservative-minded Richard LeMieux saw his fortune change almost overnight. In this now classic memoir that has touched thousands of readers across the globe, LeMieux describes his descent into homelessness and his struggle to survive personal and economic disaster. Evicted from his home in 2002 and living with his dog, Willow, in a beat-up old van, LeMieux finds himself penniless and estranged from his family and friends.

If you could sum up Breakfast at Sally's in three words, what would they be?
Breakfast at Sally's opened my eyes to see the less fortunate, in a new light. I never really thought of myself as a judgmental person, though realized that culturally my mind was conditioned to be one. I love this story and did not want it to end. I now look for any opportunity to make a difference in a homeless persons life. Rather it's to give them few dollars when they ask or simply just treat them with love and kindness. It is not my place to judge there motives, just to treat them the way we all want to be treated, like a human being. I recommend this book to everyone.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Richard, clearly for his courage to tell his story. I also loved Cee, (if that is how you spell it) I love how he challenged the rules, laws and understanding of what "we" think we know of who Jesus is. His insight into God himself, helped me see Jesus's presence through out the entire story. Love that he looks out for everyone's well being. Yes he is a regular pot smoker, though honestly if that is his medication for coping, who really cares. His heart and the kindness he had for his homeless friends made that small detail so insignificant.
Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not that I remember
