"Light of the World" First Rewrite Complete

Rewriting is complete, and I will soon be delivering the manuscript to my editor.  Currently, my mother is reading the story to my younger siblings to get their reactions before I send it to other beta-test families.  Paul (11) has been enjoying the book, and says the following was "really funny":
