I heard from a co-worker of Lorna’s, Patty, who had read the book. She is straight (but not narrow) and thought it was a fantastic book. She cried at three points. She laughed at many others. She thinks that one of the characters is a wimp (and I agree). And there was a place where I didn’t describe a character enough and she (Patty) was thrown out of the book when the character “rolled” somewhere. Meaning, she didn’t know the character used a wheelchair.
Her comments were more detailed but I don’t want to spoil the book for you.
