Good evening, all.
I've just submitted The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom for someone's
proofreading pleasure. Below, you'll find the synopsis, as well as comments for
the proofer.
Long Synopsis:
Orphaned while onboard ship from Ireland, seven-year-old Lavinia arrives on the
steps of a tobacco plantation where she is to live and work with the slaves of
the kitchen house. Under the care of Belle, the master's illegitimate daughter,
Lavinia becomes deeply bonded to her adopted family, though she is set apart
from them by her white skin. Eventually, Lavinia is accepted into the world of
the big house, where the master is absent and the mistress battles opium
addiction. Lavinia finds herself perilously straddling two very different
worlds. When she is forced to make a choice, loyalties are brought into
question, dangerous truths are laid bare, and lives are put at risk. The
Kitchen House is a tragic story of page-turning suspense, exploring the meaning
of family, where love and loyalty prevail.
Comments:
Rank spelling is 99.96 percent. There is some dialect here that might throw off
the spell check process. Page breaks have been protected, and headers stripped.
Page numbers and chapter headings are in tact. Mdashes and tab symbols have
been disposed of. If you have questions, contact solsticesinger@xxxxxxxxx
