I'm so over it now. I'm even grateful for it. Regardless of what I write in the future, not only do I know I can't get a WORSE review but also I understand that doing my best is what really counts.

Having supportive, encouraging readers DEFINITELY matters, too. My heartfelt thanks to you, Maureen.
