The what-ifs kick in and the plot develops from there. Emily's story is such a bittersweet one.

But we can still write and talk about the story as if it were true. It's no different from modern day authors taking the story of the first romance authors and telling their story as though we knew all the facts. It's the same as historical fiction. I'm so pleased you will teach--ex-teacher here.

I personally believe the story true and thank you for bringing it back to life.
