Oh, thank you!! This means so much to me!! Diving Deep is part of a seven book serial, and moves at a glacial pace, I'll admit lol. The later books in that series are very dramatic and gripping, I think (I hope?), and many ppl have written to me in tears over them. However, I agree with you, P&D and the sequel are v emotionally rich, aren't they? You've really made my day! Maybe you'll end up reading Lunch With Charlie and Farraway Mist, too, who knows :o)--??
