I have thought for a long time that Melissa was the most first-book-worthy formalist in the world. It's terrific to see fairness and good taste triumph--but that's what you expect from the great Joe Kennedy!

A victory for the forces of lightness! (Although for all I know Melissa's manuscript may have been dreary and somber. She's so talented, she could probably make that work too.)
