Oh wow, Adi! That IS a pickle!!!
I'm not sure that I even know what I'd do in that situation.
I'd sure hate to see you trash the whole idea because you've already put so much time and energy in it. Do you think it's possible that if you held off just a little bit that maybe things would cool off a bit? How reasonable is your brother if you were to try to talk to him about it? Would he accuse you of taking sides?
I'm sure your mom does feel awful for what she said... has she tried to reach out and apologize? I realize that's one of those situations that a simple "I'm sorry" won't take away the hurt, but maybe it would start.
Wow, I really don't know, sweets. I feel for you though, and I agree with you completely that I'd hate to think what A&I might think if they saw the book some day and realized they were the only ones not in it.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this!
