I remember Rose made a quilt for each of them. I would think the fabric wouldn't cost much; it's more of a time-consuming project that an expensive one. I don't remember what else Rose did for them that cost a lot. She provided the cabin, but she already owned the property for many years. I agree Rose gave a lot of her time and did thoughtful things, but I'm not sure she spent a lot of money.NL Hartje wrote: ↑26 Feb 2018, 14:52Yes! WHO!?

I normally relate more to the underdog...to someone who struggles and overcomes...and is not perfection personified! I do like the sharing of wisdom as well, gained from life experience...it turns out I’m a bit torn about an absolute favourite, but I know the ones I didn’t like as muchNL Hartje wrote: ↑26 Feb 2018, 14:52Yes!

I thought Melody had potential as a character, but in the end she comes across as a little odd and is probably the character with the worst dialogues- all vague and stilted.

My least favorite was Veronica. Her life issues seemed resolved, and I saw no point in her character's part of the story.

Exactly what I thought! She seems like one of those super genuine people that would drop everything to go help someone out. I love those kinds of people, and I'm always trying to be one.Cotwani wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 17:07 I also liked Sophie most, too. She is practical/hands on in her dealings. She joined Rose, then brought Amanda and Veronica to the sisterhood. She is the one who went the extra mile to visit and babysit for Amanda during her trying moment. She is the one who went to look for Melody at short notice. She sure walks the talk!

I wasn't a huge fan of Veronica, but maybe that's more because of the reality of my situation than anything that actually has to do with her. It seems like everything goes so smoothly and easily for her - like she's on her own little perfect cloud of life. Where's my perfect-life-cloud?! I suppose I'm just a bit jealous of a fictional character.jamertin2963 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2018, 10:43 I'm surprised at how many people don't like Veronica (or like her least). She was my second character, but again, there are things about her character I related to. I wish she had been a better-developed character, though.

Jeyasivananth, your insights on Melody are so deep and thoughtful.
For those of you that thought Veronica's life was a little too perfect... stay tuned for the sequel.
