Weakness #1. Avoid "he says" quote
1. "He says in the beginning that he wrote the book for them, as a way of telling the soldiers families what happened over there when the soldiers themselves couldn't tell."

Weakness # 6. Avoid the verbs "use"
2. As the passage goes on, the author uses phrases like "He's got a lot of dough" and "they're also touchy as hell" to make it feel as though the narrator is just another regular kid who is telling you a story.

Weakness # 9 Don't say "this" without putting a noun or phrase after it
They too convey the narrator's "crumby" perspective on others' lives and successes.

MY FAVORITE IS...... (My best friend) http://laughapalooza22.blogspot.com/
I finished reading The Atonement Child this weekend and I loved it. It is so much shorter than any of Francine Rivers's other books, which makes it a perfect choice for any readers new to her. The main girl roams free. She decides to move out of her house because her father wants to force her to have an abortion, calling the baby an "abomination." Her mother tries to voice her opinion that she needs to make her own decision, which splits her parents deeper than they have ever split before. They both try to undergo counseling, but the mother truly needs to be able to accept that she has had abortion herself and all the feelings that come with it. She has never been able to do so. The husband has never quite forgiven her for having a relationship with another man, much less another possible child. Luckily, the abused daughter finds someone who is truly on her side no matter what.
