marnie mckoy is an education administrator and co-author, a middle school teacher. thank you for being here with us today on "viewpoint." good to have you here. >> thank you for having us. >> well, tell us, first off, what led you to co-write that book? >> well, it was really about the power and potential through mentorship, and i had an incredible experience at rutgers university where i met a guy named arthur goldberg. he's a main character in the book called mr. g, and mr. g met me in the weight room and kind of took me under his wing. i expressed to one of our coaches that i wanted to be a lawyer, and he introduced me to mr. g, who was a corporate lawyer, as well as an entrepreneur, and so that started out as a mentor/mentee relationship and then transformed to that of a father and son, and so through that relationship, he taught me a lot of different things, and when he died in 2000, i wanted to capture that and i wanted to tell the story and share it with other young people and other people who could be mentors to show the power of potential through mentorship

in hernted to put marnie her 50's,carol in and that did not make any sense to me.wanted the male character in earlier so that there would be a traditional romantic comedy. they want to make the daughter bigger and from her point of view. i just refused. it all seemed to go against the entire idea of the film. it is about characters at certain stages in their lives e was in herni 20's,if lori was in her it wouldn't have been the same. i really thought it had to be this. i thought it had to be a daughter on the wrong side of 35 and a woman who could have hung it up and felt like that was it. here she is, making a go of it and finding a way to move on. host: what was it like working in this environment? you had female producers involved. susan: i do not want a burst of bubble. the last 3-4 films, i have worked with women and not all men are communicative. i worked on a film with a love -- worked on a film that had a young female director and she was really mean. herly mean, the girls hated by the end of it. i think you notice women, if you're going to generalize, as p
