[Jazzy]

Richard Paul Evans went from a 700-square-foot Salt Lake City house to a much larger one, all because of a little tale he wrote for his daughters.



Evans first printed only 20 copies of the book. But in the days before the Internet took off, friends started passing dog-eared copies around - and bookstores started asking for it.



At that point I thought, you know, maybe I should send this to publishers, and they all quickly rejected the book, Evans said.
