I'm having a hard time with chapter sixteen. It seems that Linda's death has taken the wind from my sails. Then today, I read this.
OK, I'm not giving up. Ch 16, which is pivotal, may take longer than I had planned, but I will get it done. Then the rest of the book, then on to the rewrite. Oy!
So bear with me awhile longer - I hope to make it worth your time in the end.

I feel sure that Linda would say, "Soldier on!" and, if you do, will be cheering you all the way!

Kate,
I finally caught up with you and I'm in awe! You're moving the story along beautifully and I'm tangled in the its web. Don't you dare even pause in the labor. I'm in the midst of learning about my own family background and am connecting in a new way with the past. I thought that my forbears came over from Great Britain mostly in the nineteenth century but it turns out we've been here much longer than I suspected. It is gripping to learn bits of their stories and, like your characters, set about understanding and forgiving along the way.
Good on you!
Pam
Pam,
I've been going through the same process, and the novel has been the catalyst.
I'm writing the book in the hope it will help others, but even if it doesn't, it's already helped me!
Please keep commenting, everyone who can. It encourages me to keep going. Thank you!
