Oh man, this sounds wonderful!

You are very kind (and it really helped today)!

I love THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD...one of my favorite books from college. Your book sounds great. I can't wait till my son is old enough to read it. =)

Janie and Tea Cake! What a story.:) I was talking about SEA yesterday (my WIP has similar themes -- well, just a girl going 'home' to Jamaica to do relief work) and I'm so excited to read everyone's books here -- such a varied, compelling list.

oh i'm so glad you were talking about SEA!

i bet your WIP is fantastic. my husband is a psychiatrist and has volunteered in indonesia, africa and cambodia working with orphans and their post traumatic stress--fascinating, but sad work.

LOVE Tea Cake by the way--he was such a cutie. =)

Oh, you made my "difficult revision day"! Thank you!

[mimagirl]

I love pretty much all of your favorite books!

[olugbemisola]

We definitely have similar tastes -- I've read your reviews, and do a lot of nodding.

This is a great book!! Funny and full of heart.

Gbemi, did your title change its grade?

[olugbemisola]

Hey, Barb! Yes it did -- we moved it back a few months to the end of the seventh grade year instead of the beginning of eighth grade. Thanks for stopping by!
