I also know that what you write will help many, many women. Please keep at it and try not to get too discouraged. I think writing your frustrations here helped. Looking at the comments, I see encouragement, practical advice, and lots, and lots of loving support.

The publishing world is in a tizzy right now. It's damn near impossible to sell a book. She's just making sure that she has the best possible product she can get from you before doing battle in the marketplace. Hang in there, darlin'. I concur with Glo’s sentiments, Dawn.

Your frustration is NORMAL. Having explored the writers life, I know it's hard to edit the words that bleed from your fingertips onto the page and in your case, it's even harder because the words live in your memory. But your agent does know what the publishers want and what's needed to get your story published. Just keep your eyes on the end product and trust your agent. You really are lucky to have an agent, Dawn. Many first time authors can not get one and without an agent, publishers will never even see your manuscripts because they do not accept unsolicited material from writers anymore. Agents now do what editors in big publishing houses used to do, work with the author to produce the best book possible. Now editors work with the agents and expects a manuscript to be in publishing condition when an agent brings it to them. So, love her, hate her, even fear her, but always trust her. :) Every writer has a love-hate relationship with their agent, even those who have published best sellers still have to endure the rewrite process with every single book they write.
