“Arlene, I am amazed at your insightfulness, which allows you to bring clarity to the areas of the story that had me frustrated while writing them. You are a kind of literary psychoanalyst, and I’m glad you had the chance to ‘couch’ my manuscript. I am having no difficulty reading and understanding your edits. I just can’t wait to get on to the next chapters and report back to you on them all.”
