Something about the girls that Madeline met with bothers me. I must just be really getting into the book. I don't know whether I should read on or what. I think I will.

A pleasure to read. Properly punctuated with lots of 'white spaces' between paragraphs and an easy-to-read font. I only see one place where there needs to be a fix. Here:

A couple of 'ladies in waiting' who had changed into jeans and tee shirts.

I don't think you need 'who' in there. It makes for an incomplete sentence.

This is all very interesting, Liz. I almost have to read it again to understand it all. Do I understand correctly that Karin and Caren are there as guests, like you, of a harp therapist? Well done.

One little typo: "I'm going (to) check with all of the spirits,"

    Thank you for your involved review. Yes, we're just accompanying the students. We were privileged to be invited to the demonstration of the effects of harp chords on the 3 levels, physical, emotional and spiritual.

I'm intrigued that the two Karens, spelled Caren and Karin were so open to what Madeline shared about dowsing. Wouldn't some people be skeptical ? Were all these people at this harp therapy conference all this spiritually sensitive?

what we had just experience, (experienced)

Just FYI, Liz, I won't be reviewing as much during the course of this year.

    Thank you for your involved review. If they were with someone who believed in and practiced healing with the chords of a harp, the students companion like Caren & Karin probably would have to have some of the spiritual sensitivity.

This was indeed a fantastic continuation chapter, Liz. I love how Madeline is prepared to free the spirits who chose to go home, once Cordelia comes home. It was interesting how the others felt the same as her. Time will tell. I would be interested in reading the FB page-Dowsing for Beginners. Very well done and greatly enjoyed.

    Thank you for your involved review. If you can get on to FB you can get onto the page called
    Dowsing for Beginners. There are a few questions to answer to be accepted. If you don't go on FB I can post some of my lessons here.

This is an interesting part to your story, and they are giving others the opportunity to share in the "cure". Two lines you might want to change: line --experienc(ed) and "I'm going (to) check . . . later(,). I'll be looking for the next episode.

I haven't read any of the other chapters in this book. I did find the authors notes about dousing to be interesting. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

The description in this chapter of your book is particularly fine. It really brings the images to life. I particularly liked your descriptions of colours - I think running out a theme like that which isn't directly linked to the prime subject of the chapter adds depth.

Liz,
Nice I was able to read another chapter in your book. I liked the use of colors throughout making us "see" their surroundings.

Phrases I liked: "Sadness that gnawed away at the foundations." and "I chose the forest green chair for fun."

I was hoping the ending would allude to how they were going to go about "giving them peace." But I'm sure that is coming soon.

Possible suggestion? "We can put on some coffee and snack some tea biscuits. I don't think there's a rule that says we have to have tea with them."

    Thank you for your appreciative review. The thing about the tea biscuits is just a bit of silly humor, part of the relationship of the two women.
