December 31, 2002: Dear Janet, I received your book Thursday, and started reading it immediately. It was so good that I had a hard time putting it down. I finished it last night, and am looking forward to the next book, and next one, and next one. Here are a few things that I particularly liked about your novel: ? The list of characters in the front of the book. ? Your cast of characters were believable. ? The story points to higher morals than going along with the crowd. ? There was a discreet message that setting goals is important to success. ? I agree that regardless of how bad a persons raising is, they can rise above it. ? Frugality ? this generation wants everything now, unlike Nora. ? Modesty ? Nora?s modesty was enduring. It is true that our choices have consequences, and seemingly small things have far reaching impact. Though you did not emphasize God?s hand in the lives of the characters, it was easy to perceive. For instance we are blessed with abundance, so we can bless others, as in the case of Nora, and her friends at the law firm, helping the orphanage. No doubt the impact that Beth?s words had upon young Nora, molded her character. Mothers, teachers, and anyone working with children, need to reflect upon how their words are used, and what impact they will have on impressionable young children. If I really took time to reflect on it, I could get many more insights out of ?Possibilities?, but these are the ones that jumped out at me. Of course, I?m telling all my friends about your book, so get on the stick and finish the next sequel, and quit leaving me hanging. God Bless, Bonnie P.
