If you could rewrite something and change it in the book what would it be?
I would want to change how Nikki acts around her kids and how she treats them.

After Nikki was let out of jail she kept stalking Murdoch's house and when Julie, Murdoch's neighbor was in a car accident caused by Nikki, Nikki was put in jail again. When Nikki was put in jail the second time Ben, Callie and Matthew's father, took part custody of all 3 of the kids and Aunt Bobbie also has part custody of them. A week before Nikki was to get out of jail Callie and Emmy went to go live with Ben and Matthew stayed and lived with Aunt Bobbie. Nikki had visitation rights every month to see all 3 kids but Matthew and Callie could refuse to see their mother, Emmy was too small so she couldn't choose.

100-180

Nikki kept following Murdoch and he recorded everytime she called and everytime he saw her or her car when he was driving. One time when she got too close the cops came and took her to jail for 2 days. While Nikki was in jail it was over Christmas time so Matthew, Callie and Emmy stayed with their Aunt Bobbie. Then Matthew and Callie's father, Ben, brought over a christmas tree and decorations. Then Nikki came home form jail the next day.
3 questions I would like to have answered is
1. Why was Nikki obsessing over Murdoch?
2. Why doesn't Nikki just give her kids up?
3. Who is emmy's father?

There are 3 main characters in my book. One of the first main characters is Matthew and he is the one narrating the story from his point of view.

He is a guy who has a nice personality and he is good with kids, even though he doesn't have any of his own. The last main character is Emmy. Emmy was taken away from her brother and sister when she was little and Matthew wrote a letter to her to explain how their life was when they were little.
The author uses an indirect method of revealing her characters by not telling what their personality is.
