Two people responded to my request to proof this book. Debra H responded first, and so, I contacted her, letting her know that I would submit the book with a hold for her, when it was ready. Several days later, I saw that Debbie F. was looking for it, but I never received notice that she was interested. Debra H. is currently proofing the Diplomat's Wife, so all is well with it.
