Yes they did muck with the story a bit. (But how could I not love a story with the heroine named Barbara, who was not afraid to speak her mind, who used Jesu Joy for her wedding entrance, and chose to sing Amazing Grace at her wedding) I felt a kinship. RC was like..... "Ummmm yep that's you!"
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
