Her writing reinforces our need for deep human connection and we\u2019re looking forward to adapting the stories into a drama that the whole family can enjoy. Life. Death. Humanity. Heather\u2019s stories have all of the elements of a successful, feel-good, multi-generational and multi-cultural drama with universal appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to partner with Sarah, Christian and a company like FremantleMedia,\u201d added\u00a0Lende. \u201cSome people may think that what I do is morbid, but compared to front-page news these days, obituaries are downright inspirational. I don\u2019t write about death, I write about life\u2014one person at a time\u2014and I do it while living in a community that is like a family. If I have learned anything, it is that what matters in the end are relationships. Did he do a little good? Was she kind? Was he brave? Will someone miss her? I think that matters, and mostly, the answer to those questions is yes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FremantleMedia is working with best-selling author Heather Lende to develop a drama series based on her memoirs Find The Good and If You Lived Here, I\u2019d Know Your Name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":8037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[912,2014,126,2015,127],"class_list":["post-8036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-christian-vesper","tag-find-the-good","tag-fremantlemedia","tag-heather-lende","tag-sarah-doole","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FremantleMedia to Adapt Heather Lende Memoirs - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FremantleMedia to Adapt Heather Lende Memoirs - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"FremantleMedia is working with best-selling author Heather Lende to develop a drama series based on her memoirs Find The Good and If You Lived Here, I\u2019d Know Your Name.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-07-21T13:48:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-07-21T16:36:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/09\/Find-the-Good-717.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/\",\"name\":\"FremantleMedia to Adapt Heather Lende Memoirs - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-07-21T13:48:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-07-21T16:36:31+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/fremantlemedia-to-adapt-heather-lende-memoirs\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"FremantleMedia to Adapt Heather Lende Memoirs\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
