CB, really enjoyed your post and the fine character development work you did with Contessa Wright. You displayed some very strong writing and fine storytelling here. Also, thank you so much for the mention and generous words. It means everything to me that you would think to do that, and I highly appreciate it. - Jim

I love the layers of Tessa's journey.

Her challenges are beautifully narrated, and I love how her evolution from Contessa to Tessa reflects her growing strength and resilience. I'm especially moved by her determination to uncover the truth and advocate for herself and others. I appreciate you sharing this story. Thank you.
