I\u2019m in the process of digesting and applying the edits and this has been a slower process and a learning process as I used a different editor this time.<\/p>\n<p>My usual editor was going to be unavailable all month, so I contacted a colleague I\u2019ve known for some time and she jumped right on the project. Love her work\u2014I think you will too.<\/p>\n<p>This story takes place partly in the mountains when the Iveys (including Michael\u2019s son, Adam) and their friends, Peter and Rochelle Whitcomb rent a cabin and set out to enjoy a little getaway together. Along on this adventure is Rags (of course) and the Whitcombs&#8217; foster child, ten-year-old Simon.
