I have been commissioned

I have this friend from college, Brandi, (or is it with a y? We aren't that close.) who is going through a divorce and thinks I would be a good candidate to write a screen play based on her life. Being that she has four kids I guess I should write something for Lifetime. Obviously I am allowed some creative license. I just can't decide if I am going the single mother raising four kids while working in a coal mine route after her babies' daddy ran off or the mother by day, prostitute by night route. I mean either way I am guaranteed a daytime Emmy.
