Leslie, in my head I am popping champagne corks on your behalf. I am absolutely delighted for you — and yes, there is still a lot ahead of you between now and seeing your book on the shelves (and NYTBS list) — but you’ve hit a huge milestone, and one that I’m aspiring for myself. I’m at the stage you were not so long ago — lots of great feedback, agents who love the characters, setting, etc., but just not enough . . . and your story supports my hope that, as you said, one agent will feel the way about my book that many of my beta readers have. Fingers crossed for me and huge and heartfelt congratulations to you!
