Okay, someone tell me who Julie is. Kate always refers to her as "my kid," but I get the sense that she is not, in fact, Kate's daughter. So what's the deal? How old is she? Where did she come from? Yada-yada....
(To explain.... I finally bought one of these books, but the only one the bookstore had was #3. And in typical Nifty fashion, I opened it up to the end and read the last couple pages. Specifically, Curran's note about the dinner he expected Kate to make for him. Naked dinner? MUST. KNOW. MORE. So then rather than open #3 to the beginning and start reading, I went out into the world on a hunt for #4 so I could find out how naked-dinner-with-pie went. A woman has her priorities, after all. Then with #4 in my hands, I skimmed all through it reading just Kate-and-Curran parts. Again, priorities. (I often do the same thing with the Mercy books and skim through re-reading just the Mercy-and-Adam parts.) But anyway.... I want to know more about who Julie is. So what's her deal? Somebody clue me in, please!!)
