I actually liked Prudence. She may not have liked her present circumstances but she didn't whine about it! You made her very believable, for a character of that time. That being said, I hate the poor me syndrome but what a lot of people don't realize is that these women were not like us..they had NO sense (literally) of empowerment. I would like to think that I would try to change my world (circumstances) but at what cost and would it be enough? Hard to say unless you were living in an era (or area) with NO rights.
I have decided that "you never know day" had better stay away from me. With the kind of luck I have, I'll probably crash into his car and he'll hate me for life! LOL!!
I loved this book! Are you really going to do a Gone with the Wind like this? I have to tell you, Scarlette will be kicking some major butt, and I am not just saying that because my name is Scarlet.
