I've eventually worked out what I meant to write---privet indeed lol! I blame it on the tiny screen on the iphone I am usually using. Fortunately this time I am on the PC:) I meant to say (for the benefit of anyone that reads reviews) that I thought Ginny's need to prove herself all the time showed her young age.

Author's Response: I occasionally read chapters on my BlackBerry. I would never think of posting a review using the BlackBerry. Of course I have a remote way of getting to the company e-mail, and since my son and I own the company don’t have any problem using the company server for personal use. Yes, you are correct. I portray Ginny as needing to prove herself over and over. Of course she will grow up and change; we all do. I hope I’m being true to what we know of her history. JetLaBarge

I do think that Ginny need to privet herself is pretty immature but she is 16 after all!! I do feel that she is being a bit manipulative and that saddens and also worries me.
I've never come across a fic that has andromeda not up to the job if caring for teddy and as such, once again, gives a freshness and originality to your work.

Author's Response: I knew I wanted at least someone in the books to just be overwhelmed by the war, and Andromeda, having lost so much, was a logical candidate. Often in the face of tragedy you hear people say “I don’t know how I would handle something like that.� Some people don’t. I know that some people have commented that they did not hear of Post-Traumatic Stress after World War II. It was there; people just didn’t talk about it. My father knew a pilot, shot down, prisoner of war, who was in and out of mental hospitals after WW-II, and a good friend, a psychologist, trained at a VA hospital that was full of WW-II vets struggling after that war. Ginny is basically a good person, although I portray her with all of the fire of her mother. I don’t think we can assume Molly was fully mature at 16 either, although she probably had all the fire and temper. JetLaBarge
