I would love to see the Brooks on the big screen. I see Anthony Mackie playing vernon brooks and laila ali or Taraji Henson playing Rene Naverone. Regina King as Nicole....I must say I thought once you've touched the heart was my favorite book by you, but propensity for love is getting really close!
