I love you. The names in your Prairie Creek novel have stories, and not only that, at the end of each chapter, you put something fun, such as the the stories behind what you've included in the chapter and story in general. I especially liked the picture of your OWN ancestors. How amazing is that? Not to mention i literally stopped reading the last chapter because you included a slow cooker beef stew recipe that I will DEFINITELY be utilizing. You are goals. I love history and cooking, reading and writing and you seem to incorporate them all fabulously. I also love how Jane initially was someone who seems kinda selfish in a way. But I'm starting to realize that she's not, at least in the way I thought. From the way she judged Val, Vel, and Prett, I was judging her. But we all are biased in one way or another, and she's not a standard perfect-in-every-way-better-give-her-a-too-pretty-flaw character. She's depicted as human, who has problems, gone through real trials, and who is fighting to stifle them and keep them out of a new chapter in her life. Not only does she have flaws, but they make her oh so loveable and relatable even if I sort of disliked her at first. But when I payed attention to her thought processes, feelings, and actions, I found I liked her a lot more.
Sorry for the paragraph, but I wanted to express my admiration for your writing, and all the thought you put into it.
Have a glorious night,
