Hi Julie!
I will add to Robyn and Adam’s sentiments – congratulations and thank you for being brave!
I agree that the ending could be condensed.
The third to last paragraph ends with: Devastated by her actions, she faced one more decision. Would she end her own life, or surrender it to a God she had talked herself out of believing?
One suggestion for the ending following this third to last paragraph:
Zach is a story about secrets and their power to destroy. But mostly, Zach is the story of an unfailing love that stands with us in our ugliest of places, even the ones we choose for ourselves.
