As we've all seen through your journal, you're a natural writer, and your talent comes through in your story telling. I, for one am very interested in your story, and after reading your prologue, am anxious to read the rest of your book. Having taught school for many years, I was a proofreader for my nephew, who has published a couple of books, and I'd be happy to serve as a proofreader for you as well, if you're in need of someone. It usually takes several people to catch every punctuation, verb tense, and pronoun error. In any case, keep writing your story. Not only is it therapeutic for you, but encouraging and interesting for many others!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590445214557114103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-78265001977729105062017-01-06T11:03:46.350-06:002017-01-06T11:03:46.350-06:00You have such a way with words Linda, you gave me ...You have such a way with words Linda, you gave me chills!

Your writing is very good. In my wildest dreams I cannot imagine living such a life. The beautiful piece of that awful story is that you all grew up to be good, responsible people, and have grown so close in these last few years.
