The parents are more complex, with their own sets of issues, and the story is so much more vibrant. A rework is a difficult thing to do, and she's done a marvelous job of it.Gabriella Wheelerhttp://abookadayreviews.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882236642655001998.post-35301472752040391562011-12-17T13:28:16.001-07:002011-12-17T13:28:16.001-07:00Wonderful review, Gabriella!

Very often, I think, in times of crisis, under duress, we act more on instinct than character or thought. We may ask why – we do ask why - but the questions are rarely answerable. The failure, it seems to me, is at least in part cultural - a result of misguided assumptions and expectations – as well as a failure of community, making root cause difficult to attribute. Of course, in a novel, that leads to frustration, which you articulate brilliantly. Your insights are extremely helpful to me, as a writer. Going forward, I will keep your points in mind; my writing, I truly believe, will improve because of it. I’m tremendously grateful for that!Terri Giuliano Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775973275247706424noreply@blogger.com
