The article focuses on the book "To See the Dream," by Jessamyn West. "To See The Dream is a journal kept by author Jessamyn West during the time of her work in writing and advising on the movie adaptation of her novel, "The Friendly Persuasion." A stranger to Hollywood may read the book "To See the Dream" and learn that it is a real place inhabited by live and fallible human beings who are often required by their craft to rise at dawn and spend a sweating day in the sun to get what may turn out to be two minutes worth of film.
