I promise I'll read it next after the three I've got on my nightstand, lol!<br /><br />I have been neglecting my Kindle in favor of real books lately, this post has just changed that.

Humor, I can write. Anger, annoyance, those, too. But "make-me-grab-a-tissue" emotion? I struggle. I envy your ability. When I read this part of your book, I cried.

When I was writing The Long Way Home (SF4) Brian and I spend a lot of night crying together. Oddly enough, in the book that I posted from yesterday, Diane's husband had died. His name was Rory, too. Thanks for sharing. Bittersweet sounds like my kind of story.<br /><br />JGJenaGalifanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870378425016427004noreply@blogger.com
