If you do a search and replace be very careful; if you happen to
include one that is at the end of the paragraph you'll end up with one
page-long paragraph (I assume you're planning to replace with a space
so you won't have words run together.
I think you said, though, that Nimit, or Dornetta, was going to take
the file froom the download list; if not, I'd be happy to; I like
some Christian fiction if it's well-written and subtle, not blatant
with its message, and it sounds as if your book fts that dsescription.
Who's the author?
