What If... is the title of a comic novel. A Tale of Broken Lives was transformed as a reader's theater for five to twenty-six speakers and is still part of the DRSR curriculum. A screenplay was used to create CAPTAIN FIN. For filmmaker, actor, and producer Kevin James O'Neill, Amanda was hired to convert the screenplay into a novel.
