I am honored by this compliment. I KNOW. I tried to make the story lighter; I really did, but I was thinking about Molly and getting so annoyed at the way other characters dismiss her -- hello, emotional over-investment -- when she is obviously smart and does this awful draining job like it's nothing, when she is so clearly empathetic and kind and still sleeps with stuffed animals and -- and that was it; I couldn't make the story be about anything else.

Thank you for finding beauty here!
