I'm still working on it -- but am finishing it before starting anything else!

I liked it, however it felt like two different stories. Perhaps she wanted Esther to appear as a typical young woman; a façade really. It broke my heart how misunderstood illness was not so long ago. It's still frowned upon, and many are ashamed of it, as if it's any different than any other illness. Her mother's foolish comments were particularly painful. Also, knowing Sylvia's story, as well as her family's history - it makes all of this even more heartbreaking.

Yay, Professor Dumbledore.

Wishing you an abundance of magic, Blagica.
