M.L. Farb liked an answer from Janet Sumner Johnson: (This is not a ?, just a comment) Janet, you are a VERY talented writer. As a stay-at-home mom myself, I know how difficult it can be to find the time and the energy for personal projects. Your first novel is fantastic. Keep up the great writing! Sandra, from <a href="http://reviewsinchalk.blogspot.com/">Reviews in Chalk</a> Sandra, you are my new favorite person. Thank you! So kind/wonderful of you to take the time to come to Goodreads to say this to me!
