Hi, Rachelle
Both of you right with so much humor and what seems like real feeling
It's too bad it's fiction because it would be nice to know a Solomon
I don't know how closely Gretchen's version of this matches yours, but they both seem very funny and so genuine
I hope Tova comes if not, you'll be rescued by other means when the sheriff and/or the doctor come back to town
I enjoyed reading your book chapter
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

This is very interesting to read and the road trip feels like it really happened. The way you describe it tells me you have a way with words that makes you an excellent writer. I can't wait to see what you write next.

Thanks!! Remember to check out Gretchen's side of the story, as well. That's what makes this such an unusual novel; it's told by both of us each week. Gretchen and I never know what the other of us is planning to write! xoxo

Rachelle,
I absolutely love this series. Your descriptive prose and great characterization blend for a very poignant story.
You give us a realistic view of the life of people who basically keep to themselves, but are rich in tradition.
Great story, Rachelle.

Thank you, Cindy; this is both an encouraging and helpful review. It's always great when a writer knows what "lands" with her readers. xoxo

Hello, Rachelle,
I just marvel at the ease with which you have written this exceptionally well-crafted and believable chapter.
Love how you weave Simian Savant into your narrative. I also think that Tova and I would be great pals.
And I smiled when you shared the following:
"I can just imagine Tova laughing hysterically as she plays that message over and over, picturing me in Amish clothes. I even know that, within an hour, it will have been shared with everyone on this side of the continent. Our tribe savors ridiculousness."
Definitely part of your "tribe."
For me, it would not be a need for high heels, but I would be lost without my "Aussie Instant Freeze!" (True story this week: Walked through a spider's beautifully constructed web Wednesday morning on my way to meet my sister-in-law at the Y. I mentioned it to my sister-in-law when she arrived, and she commented, "Well, you don't say! There's a spider hanging on for dear life in your hair, but with all of that glue, it's stuck!" GAWD!
Wonderful chapter!
Thank you for sharing!
fondly,
diane

OH, GEEEEEEEEZ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That is so hilarious!! Mormonism began in my home town of Palmyra, NY, and so every year, thousands and thousands of people come to see The Mormon Pageant. My cousin was in town that week, and for some inexplicable reason, my parents thought we should attend. Mormon proselytes walk throughout the thousands of patrons before the Pageant begins and try to get them to convert. The one who spoke to my cousin and me (we were teenagers, mind you) wore glasses, and on the bow of the left one, a spider was spinning quite the intricate web while the Mormon guy was talking. Know what we remembered him saying to us? NOTHING!! All we could think about was the spider!!! The minute he walked away, we exclaimed, "DID YOU SEE THAT SPIDER ON HIS GLASSES SPINNING A WEB???"
Anyway, thank you for this delightful and entertaining review!!!! xoxox
