Hi, Tiffany! Hmm, other than literature and fiction, I'm not sure. Sounds
like one of those books you'd have to read through to know for sure. <Smile>
sounds like a good book, though!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] easy validation
In rtf and already pre-validated, I have submitted The Garden Angel.
I have already cleaned up all the obvious errors, with Kurzweil ranking it
more than 99% spelled correctly.
The only thing I couldn't figure out was, what category to check when I
submitted it. Maybe the validater would have a better idea. Here is the book
Jacket:
"Cutter Johanson is plucky and eccentric, nostalgic about her family's
once-glorious past. In her spare time, she gardens in the family cemetery
and knits hair doilies. While writing obits for the local newspaper and
waiting tables at the Pancake Palace, she is desperate to ward off potential
buyers from her dilapidated ancestral homestead - and goes to extreme and
often hilarious lengths to succeed. Though her neighborhood has changed,
even grown shabby, the folks at Father Bob's Home for Retarded Men across
the street have become a sort of extended family. Cutter's home is like
another character, elegiac, full of secrets, providing her with a refuge
from the modern world. That is, until Cutter's sister, Ginnie, pregnant with
her married lover's child, brings trouble home." "
Elizabeth Byers rarely ventures outside the brick ranch she shares with
her husband, Daniel, a professor at Palmetto University. Agoraphobic and
stricken with panic attacks, she fills her days gardening and writing her
dissertation on Emily Dickinson. But one day, an anonymous call brings
disturbing news that propels her into action. Elizabeth summons her courage
to leave her house and drive into neighboring Sans Souci, and the
disturbing, sad events that follow lead her to forge a friendship with
Cutter, a stranger who reaches out to help." "Cutter is losing her house,
and Elizabeth is losing her husband.
Surrounded by offbeat characters, the women pull together to seek
sanctuary, only to plunge into a string of misadventures that will
irreparably disrupt their lives - and the lives of others. This novel
captures life in a down-at-the-heels small town and celebrates the power of
friendship."
