I'll be interested in your take on that.Bob Richhttps://bobrich18.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-40923119298001093462023-05-20T13:08:41.981-07:002023-05-20T13:08:41.981-07:00In the romance genre, if there wasn't a HEA yo...In the romance genre, if there wasn't a HEA your reader would abandon you so we do have to heal them. But as you so sagely point out, those wounds aren't healed by someone else, they are healed when the character faces them down. Sometimes they need to ask for help, but the need to ask is critical. Help can't be foisted on them. In my book, Worry Stone, my hero is dealing with the guilt and pain of having been a soldier in war time. He thinks falling in love and marrying this lovely, cheerful woman, will heal him and at the start of the book, she is convinced that she can love him enough to heal those wounds. It isn't until he gets to the lowest point and finally reaches out for help that the healing begins. But there is still a HEA. And you are right, this is a complex subject. One that takes research, time, and insight. Good post. Skyewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938351117986167519noreply@blogger.com
