Thank you everyone for the comments for "I Am Rosemary's Granddaughter" and the welcoming the site.

I'd like to indulge you a few pieces of trivia about the story.

It was originally written as a screenplay with a country music soundtrack, the opening title sequence used the song "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews (which has the chorus of "I am Rosemary's Granddaughter..."). The script was never sent off as I didn't know who would want to look at or produce it (it was 2001 at the time) so I let it set until about a year ago (after the publication of "To Be a Different Someone") and started in earnest to try and rewrite it to show how Kris and Michael’s relationship began (the script showed in montage during the opening titles)--because some reviewers of the script said that was the bigger story.

The chapter titles are taken from the albums "Homeward Bound" and "Life" by Aselin Debison. There is still a country sounding streak in the narrative because of where the story takes place.

Kris' name is a variation of Nirvana's bass guitarist Krist Novoselic. Almost all of my stories have a musician's name referenced as a character somewhere.

Kristi was originally a red head but after working with a cover artist and a friend on Facebook I adjusted the character to raven-haired with streaks of red (and, to note, all of my main characters will have auburn tresses) and green in it.
