Ginny had four graduating from her rookie class, and that was just the beginning, They all were her special projects, and they wouldn’t know that.
She had the mates for some of them already picked out. She always did things for them because they were too bashful or hardheaded to do for themselves. She is a regal patriarch,with a string love for her babies, these new rookies. Amusing, as we meet them, their struggles , great book to read.
