I got my manuscript back from the editor and here's what she said:
"This was a real page-turner for me and I felt like it was almost a true account of some of your ancestors. Well done. A beautiful account of God's care and protection and those who had faith in Him during severe trials. Your bio indicates that you are a recent school graduate and I want to especially commend you on your writing skills and encourage you to keep writing. I also congratulate your home school teacher(s) on giving you a fine education."
I was very happy and very shocked too. It's one thing to have your family and friends tell you that you can write well, but it's completely different to hear it from a professional editor. Now it really seems real.
