Hi, Kathleen,<br /><br />Always feel free to send me questions as they come up--and to reject any of my changes.&nbsp;<br /><br />I am often hesitant to delete sections, and if there were a section that dragged I would have marked it, so, no. In retrospect, since it turns out that Austin was not saved by the exorcism, the section in the house where they are trying to help him day in and day out might read better if it was more succinct. I can help there. I don't think it should be chopped to bits, but I did have a bit of that, What? After all that he dies?! Feeling. Only a little, though--I think it's important that you show that it's not a wham bam process as most people think. When Luis was talking about the woman who was still working with him after years and years, it effectively set the despairing mood that had the potential to be lifted by Hope and persistence. As sad as it is, I LOVE that we lose Austin--it adds so much more depth and weight to the story. And that ending--I can't. Ima start sobbing again! But there's your hope, there's your redemption and satisfaction and closure--Casey might not have him in body, but she can rest assured that he will cross over and be happy and that she'll see him again. Chills!
