Goodreads asked Mary Davis:

What are you currently working on?

Mary Davis I am currently editing and rewriting the novel my first cousin once removed wrote in the 1990's before she went blind. She has since passed away. It was gifted to me by her sister who said I could do anything I wanted with it, including throwing it away. I can’t do that! It is a very different process to edit a story that I didn’t write and one where I can’t ask the author for clarification. I’m trying to figure out how much editing I’ll do to make the story shine and how much to keep from the original.
