I feel like they are starting to lose their connection a little too. NO! :) We need Michael to start feeling something again..like the little things, "tiny" things, he was feeling at the end of Unbroken Connection. And also at the begining of this book, when something stopped him from going into her room that night...Chaleesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667176149929876108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-54974424089198435272010-11-04T11:12:45.488-07:002010-11-04T11:12:45.488-07:00I think that's a good idea.

I find the Mormon faith so interesting!<br /><br />Perhaps it would be quite a bit to add in, but would it be worth having some sort of explanation about Leesie not drinking tea included, possibly? Just for other readers who are unaware, like me, perhaps? Just a suggestion! :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-39588949905393700222010-11-04T08:48:29.427-07:002010-11-04T08:48:29.427-07:00Michelle's right.

It involves not drinking alcohol, using tobacco, and not drinking "hot drinks." It also talks about healthy eating--consuming grains and herbs and using meat sparingly. <br /><br />Hot drinks have been defined by church leaders as coffee and tea. Herb tea, cocoa, and grain drinks like Postum are fine. When I was growing up, drinking a can of Coke was a big no no. But that was more cultural than official. The Brethren came out with a statement saying caffeinated drinks probably aren't good for you, but they aren't officially part of the Word of Wisdom. I don't drink them, but I know a lot of good Mormons who do. It's a personal thing. The use of meat is like that, too. Illegal drugs and misusing prescription drugs is an important thing we teach kids today when we talk about the Word of Wisdom. <br /><br />After being at BYU a few weeks, Michael would know this. He's clueless about Leesie's dress code and other issues. Leesie's purposely trying to break the rules. And he wants to stop her--even if it's just a cup of tea.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767644921005073798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-37465009538036056932010-11-04T08:04:45.740-07:002010-11-04T08:04:45.740-07:00Jo:

I’m craving for special moments between them, like the small things that make life so wonderful. I’m ready to see Leesie healing process but not the physical one the spiritual one that is the one who I care the most because we already now that her wounds are healing. About Michael I think for his age, the way he used to think he is doing a great job. Like he mentioned in Unbroken Connection it’s not a easy task to take care of Leesie because is not only her body what is broken but what is worse is that he is dealing with a girl that her word turn down and she feels that her soul is been broken in pieces.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609136280926686534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-7350763478355029482010-11-04T07:42:07.232-07:002010-11-04T07:42:07.232-07:00Wow, that is incredible!

I can't believe both Michael and Alex rushed off without introducing her to to that guy, even if they were late. So rude!

It may be j...Yes, definately a page turner ending! It may be just the thing to get Michael focused on helping Leesie to heal! <br /><br />I must admit that I was begining to get a little worried. Between Leesie needing to physically, emotionally & spiritually heal from the accident, and now her insecurities with Alex (although completely understandable considering all that's happened), I was afraid that there would be too many things tearing them apart rather than bringing them together. <br /><br />On Michael's side, although I do see he loves her, it seems as though he's just going through the motions. (I know I'm not explaining myself well.) He's caring for & providing for Leesie but he's so excited about being able to dive again that it sort of seems like Leesie is just "tagging along". It almost feels like they're begining to loose their "connection", especially with some of the small comments he's made.<br /><br />Dont' get me wrong, I love this story! I just really want things to work out for the two of them! They're a great couple! They just have a lot of hurdles to face! Hopefully, they realize they can't do it alone. However, I know this book will come through wonderfully! I just need to be patient! :)<br /><br />Thank you for providing your readers a chance to read along with you as you write.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-54595363406627435432010-11-03T21:14:55.365-07:002010-11-03T21:14:55.365-07:00I think the chapter is perfect how it end, is like...I think the chapter is perfect how it end, is like the reader (AKA Me) is craving for MORE /haha/.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609136280926686534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-1954430349451545662010-11-03T20:46:04.250-07:002010-11-03T20:46:04.250-07:00So you think I should end the chapter here?
