I am loving all your comments! Thank you all so much :)

Re: Woodrose Mountain (12:11pm April 4, 2012):

Kathleen, I'll definitely have to check that out. Thanks for letting me know!

Re: Woodrose Mountain (12:10pm April 4, 2012):

Diane, great point! I think there's definite truth to that. You read about
something having a really tough time and even if you're struggling in your own,
you can think, "Well, I'm sure glad I don't have *their* problems!"

Thanks for your comment!

Beth, you're so right! It's all about hope, isn't it? I've had readers tell me the
reason they love romance novels is that HEA and it gives them hope that they
can work through their own troubles to find a better place. Thanks for your
comments :)

Karen, it's hard not to cheer for an underdog. Do you think it's because we all
sort of feel like underdogs in some aspect of our life?

Re: Woodrose Mountain (12:04pm April 4, 2012):

Thank you Nancy! I appreciate your kind words :)

Betty, thank you! Sometimes if the people I'm reading about have problems
similar to my own, it can be emotionally draining to read their stories but most
of the time I find it uplifting.

Denise, my heart goes out to you. Have you looked into the online support
networks? After our son was born with special needs, I've found some great
information and help from email lists.

Hugs to you!

ACK! I left off the question at the end of my blog. Here it is :)

What about you? Is it tough for you to read about people surviving difficult
challenges, especially if you're in the middle of hardships of your own, or do you
find it empowering?
