This is a very nice prologue for the collection of works to support and honor Karenina as she goes through this expected-to-be long recovery.

What a beautiful foreword you have both written to Karenina's book! I am sorry that I'm not better acquainted with this lovely young lady, and I will have to make an effort to become so.

I have made a few suggestions for grammatical revisions:

The Foreword to Kareninas Book
-->
The Foreword to Karenina's Book

We both have special private thoughts and memories ...
-->
We both have special, private thoughts and memories ...

...should give everyone the chance to express their own feelings, and you some much-needed entertainment ...
-->
...should give everyone the chance to express their own feelings, and you, some much-needed entertainment, ...

but we know your recovery is still far from complete, so the book will remain open for now ...
-->
but we know your recovery is still far from complete, so the book will remain open for now, ...

***

It is a beautiful kindness you have rendered, and I can see, by Karenina's gracious response in the Author Notes, that she deeply appreciates it.

Karenina will be blown away--you nailed it--continual cheering is in order to keep up morale through the demoralizing recovery process. We're in daily touch by PM. And via reviews/replies. She's stupendous!

That's a marvelous idea for a book! Mixed author for a well wishing sounds like a really neat concept for creating to enrich the life of someone who has had a traumatic depletion of their energies from an event. The picture that comes to my mind is of a person wakening from a casket in the middle of a funeral, the surprise from both sides of the situation would get to see how each person was affected by the other and who really cared enough to come. I hope my description doesn't sound to crass, but it's the way I describe things. Excellent idea and I hope to be able to read the works when it's taking off.

    Great! look forward to reading your next entry. Love Kate xx

    Thanks, Kate. How much longer ae you keeping the book? Do you want me to leave a note on mine for anyone who wants to an additional entry?
reply by the author on 21-Sep-2021
    A note would be really nice, thanks. We want to keep the book open until she's totally well as a form of encouragement - but we need to find a way to keep peoples interest up (I'm a bit stumped for ideas other than by telling them higher ratings are put on these, and that's illegal!)
reply by Pam (respa) on 21-Sep-2021
    I will do that and put it in an obvious place, like the dedication box. How many people have written a second entry except for you and Tim?
reply by the author on 21-Sep-2021
    2 + you + two joined in at this stage. I'm hopeful more will do so following the prologue. There was quite a bit of interest for it.
reply by Pam (respa) on 22-Sep-2021
    That is good news, Kate.

This is a great addition to Karenina's book. Your words are descriptive, flow well, and make a great point for readers as well as Karenina.
Thank you for posting this and the book.
Respectfully, Jan

The Foreword to Kareninas Book
by Katherine M. Kean


It was so nice of you and Theodore McDowell to get this book together for Karenina. She is so sweet and kind, she definitely deserves it.

Hi...how Beautiful. I am trying to add my work for Karenina, I know she is patiently hoping it could go where intended.
I tried to administer under Tim's instructions, but it is not allowing me to add from my portfolio, so I may have to ask Tom.
A lovely thing for a lovely authoress.
My best wishes.
RG
