I genuinely do believe in the American dream […] that a single mom on welfare can start writing down the stories in her head and end up with a bestselling series of books, record breaking film adaptations, and a million merchandising opportunities.

Wait, are you talking about the single mom on welfare who wrote a bestselling series of books that I think you’re talking about? Because if it’s the one who wrote about wizards then her success story has very little to do with the “American” dream.
