Wow, thank you so much for these wonderful comments! I'm similarly cautious reading stories that feature Mary and Janine, so I'm especially glad you liked the roles they played here, and your insightful observations made me grin like a big grinning thing, particularly this:
Mary learning to reach for and accept help
YESSS! I had a lot of fun researching this (especially badgering my friend who lives in Florida), and am absolutely tickled that you felt the troubled backstories came through.
I'm so very happy you enjoyed this! Thank you so much for your kind words!
