      Aw, thanks for stopping by, Grace! I'm writing my thesis about Emma's internal character change in the story, and how her growth in virtue begins with knowledge of self. It's been a lot of fun so far. :) And I've been delighted to join the Rosary novena! Just after a week, it's already been a great experience. God bless! ♥
