Review: Loved the story and the characters. Crying for a good editor. So sad.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book was free for me. The grammar, punctuation, word choices, and sentence structure were so truly awful that I can't award this book more than three stars. I marked sixty-six (66) bad mistakes, without marking anything within quotation marks. Here is a great story teller whose book should be an embarrassment to her. Hiring a good editor would surely bring the rating up to at least four and probably five stars.I really did enjoy the story and thought the characters were well developed. I loved the pluckiness and curiosity of Josie and the sweetness of the children. I found several of the characters very likeable, especially Cole/Todd.What is an author, with a background in journalism doing putting out a book with such terrible errors? It makes me sad for the education students must be getting in this country."answers in rapid SENSATION"/succession"SHUTTERED"/shuddered"BREAK"/brake"IN TACK"/intact"had RODE"/had riddenare just a few examples. I see that the book is now being offered for a price. Be forewarned. If glaring errors bother you, do not buy this one.
