I re-read my manuscript several times before sending it to the editor. Each time, certain parts brought me to joyful tears as I reflected on God’s goodness amid tragic moments. Other stories, like my son’s abandonment, made me sob uncontrollably and hug him tighter.

Part one is almost complete. The editor emailed me today with encouraging feedback. She has finished the first round of edits, and we have a Zoom meeting scheduled for Thursday. During this meeting, we’ll ensure that my vision is coming across clearly before I make any changes. Thank you for your continued prayers.
