The author was interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning today

I saw her interviewed in the past, once she was interviewed with her brother, which made me wonder what happened to her other siblings because none of them were in this segment. I was thinking they all moved to New York to be near her when they discovered she made it.

I had also wondered if her mother was still alive because I remember years ago when they interviewed her for a show (60 Minutes, I think) her mother was a squatter in a building with no electricity.
