Clean Romances discussion

When I wrote The Legacy, I has no idea it would touch so many lives and I am both humbled and awed by the emails I receive from readers. I know I will never be able to please everyone with my writing and I don't even try. I write what I know and try to share my thoughts without being preachy, hoping that not only will my die-hard fans be pleased, but that I will gain new ones along the way. Of all the female characters I've ever written about, I put more of myself into Cisely than any other. I love hearing how the story has affected readers, but I gotta say, this one made me totally teary, in a good way:-)

"Dear Jewel,

This might sound corny to you but I'll risk it and say it anyway. And due to the fact that its 4:00am in the morning and I'm an emotional ball of tears from crying, you have guessed right; I just finish reading you masterpiece The Legacy. Words can't describe how beautiful and magnificent that story is, and with tears running down my check at this very moment, I tell you your story has shaken the very essence of my being, my soul, and everything in me. I am a 20 year old girl who has never known love, nor had a glimpse of what it could be like. I had grown to believe a love like that of Adagio and Cisely does not exist. Ohhh, how to tell you how wrong I was! After reading this story, there is no doubt in my mind that I will one day find that same love with a man I can give my virtue to, who will love me unconditionally and not give a thought to the fact that I have one eye smaller than the other or that am not smart enough, a man who will tell me every day how beautiful I, "his angel" am. Ugh! It's so hard to express myself due to the fact that I still can't stop crying, and not to mention how the faith I once lost was found again through your story. I can't even remember the thought of living my life with out the Lord in it. Of all the books and stories I have read, words cannot express how grateful I am to have had a face to face with a story that will forever live and be an unbreakable legacy in my heart. I am still crying and it will take a while to recover from the impact this story has left on me, but I will never cease to thank God for allowing me to contemplate the sweet story that somehow spilled from your fingers. You are an amazing writer and I hope you know the impact you have had on my life through this story. And although I tend to forget a lot over time, I hope to never forget the legacy your words and this story have left in me."

How grateful I am that I finished this story instead of chucking in a pile with other unfinished projects. Writing it was therapeutic for me. Two years worth of therapy that I didn't have to pay a couch-lounging fee for:-)

If you haven't read The Legacy yet, what are you waiting for?
I'm still looking for reviewers if anyone is interested.
