I believe the final volume of the series will live up to expectations and wrap up the story in a good way...though, understandably, things would never be the same after such a conflagration.
Hopefully, in this particular case, (and as the author it is mine I suppose to determine) the lessons learned will not so easily or quickly be forgotten and in the end, the world will be an improved and better place despite the hardship and travail.
As always, Joanie, the pleasure and the appreciation are all mine. You, Chris, Corrie and the others have been the best of friends to work with and learn from.
Thank you, Jeff, and likewise! It's been wonderful to do my small part in helping you out. (Time to add Vol. 3 and 4 to my bookshelf, too! Does Amazon still have them in stock?)
