Your praise means a lot :D<br /><br />Josiah is 19 and Gemma is 18 :) That may not be immediately apparent in this chapter, but it becomes more so ;)<br /><br />I would say you'd have to wait till it's published BUT, I am currently accepting beta readers. So if you have time to read the entire novel in the month of September, then sign up over at my most recent post: http://theleft-handedtypist.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-moment-youve-all-been-waiting-for.html If you don't have time for that, then watch for pre-ordering opportunities toward Christmas time :D<br /><br />Thanks so much for your interest, Amber!

The one thing that stood out to me to correct was the part where Josiah wonders how she got out there "an easy mile from anything."<br />A mile isn't really that far in my experience, my grandparents live a mile from me and it takes me about ten minutes to walk to their house, or less. I feel like it might need to be a bit of a bigger distance? That's my only criticism though.

I would have liked a little more reason for why she was evicted, but maybe that will come later in the book. :) So excited!<br />You mentioned in a comment above that you will be taking beta readers; I would love to be one if you are willing! <br />Keep writing Abigayle!

I haven't decided if I will post more on my blog or not.
