Okay…I may have to admit defeat. As much as I hate to do this, I may have to put this story up for adoption. It kills me to have to do this, but I really want this story finished, and if it is left up to me, I don't see it being done anytime in the near future. However, I am not wanting to throw in the towel completely, especially considering how much of myself I put into this story. If there is anybody wanting to continue this story, send me a message, and we can work together on getting this done. I would like to be the beta reader for the story, so that I can communicate ideas and also make sure the writing style is similar enough that the story flow won't be interrupted. I would prefer somebody who has completed a story before, as that person will know what they're getting into—unlike me! I apologize to all my readers and anyone/everyone who has been waiting so patiently for an update and encouraging me these past several years. I can't believe I started this story over three years ago! Unfortunately, my health has taken a severe decline over the past few months, and I don't have the energy to continue just now. I may at some point be in a better position to 'take the helm' again, but that is something I would work out with whomever takes over. I'll close this out with a prayer that somebody contacts me so that this story can be finished, and that you, the reader, continue reading with the new author. Remember, I will still be a part of this!!
