Oh my! It all fits together now. But Mary has no idea what a horrible person Jon turned out to be. And then what will Cassidy tell Mary. Or, what is so important that Mary has to tell Cassidy? And will Liz show up and meet her mother? Things are really heating up!

    No because Mary thinks Jon died in a car crash many many years ago (first chapter) And Mary hasn't seen Cassidy since that time. It's going to be an explosive reunion.

Wow, so many surprises in the relationships in this book! Sounds like it's one big not-so-happy family. But there's always hope for the future. LOL. Great chapter! Blessings. Enjoy your weekend. Carol

    So much happened in that first chapter which influenced their entire lives... hopefully we can turn it around somewhere. Remember Cassidy would have been Faith's aunt if Jon (had lived - and he did) and Mary.

Oh this is quite a revelation. For some reason I just assumed that Cassidy was a young woman but she would need to be at least in her mid-forties or fifties by now! Another spine tingling chapter. But you should make sure Cassidy stays away from areas where she can be seen!! Next please!!

    Remember the first chapter... Wendy was pregnant with Jon's baby. Cassidy was his sister. The family lied and said Jon was dead. They haven't seen each other since then...

    Doing my best with Cassidy. Things are getting rough.

Yup, I like this one, Carol. I never would have guessed that all these people would be connected. Another twist! Very well done.ð?¤? I'll be watching for the next chapter.

You do have a fertile imagination. My God, woman. So many coincidences coming to the fore. Before you are finished they will be one big happy family, maybe. Quite the story with so many high points. What a great movie this would make.

****** that's all I have.

    And that is more than enough. I am so happy you see how in the end they are all connected. Their lives have been sad, but they will find peace and happiness as a family. Still a ways to go, but I think we might get there. Smiles, Carol

You'ver really thrown me for a loop here, I thought Cassady was a young woman and Mary was much older. This would mean that Jon and Mary are Faith and Liz parents. Very interesting.

"No, black is fine. It's very kind of you. Hank is right outside. He wanted me to check on you first to make sure it was alright for him to come in."

(I could be wrong but I think this needs dividing. The first part is Mary saying she take the coffee black, The second part is Emma saying Hank wants to come in. )

    If you remember in the very first chapter Mary and Jon were going to run away together. She was pregnant. He never came to get here.

    Instead Jon's friend called and said there was an accident. Cassidy sent a note and a picture album. The military family moved to Italy and Jon went to a seminary.

    thanks for pointing out the mistake. I fixed it.

    I do remember that but I didn't connect it with this Mary since she is a grandmother and seemed to be having a hard time walking so far. My mind will catch up.

Well things are getting closer or more complex. I'm not sure, but I know I'm enjoying the drama and many revelations as different peoples pasts and lives intertwine. The word is a small one and fate will bring people back together.

Well done.

    Good evening, lancellot

    i am thrilled to find you here as one of the first reviews. I trust your judgement and I am excited when you enjoy my stories. Yes, the lives are twisted and tied together, yet they don't always know it.

    Thanks again for the review and for taking the time to read my story.

    Smiles. Carol

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love the plots with plots, characters intertwined, I suspect you are a girl who really relates to tragedy, and through the processing of your own emotion your creative mind invents these wonderful plots and the tragic but worthy characters, either invented, or based on some reality, which we all can. Beautifully written dear Carol, well done, blessings Roy

    You know me so well, Roy. I do draw from emotions deep inside and when you find me writing very fast, it's because I am moving through the feelings with my characters. You are so kind to me. I hoped I built the suspense of finding Cassidy and the next will be Liz...but I am no sure how well that will go at first. I am still thinking on that one. Thank you so much for the review, your thoughts and the stars. I am certainly blessed to be your friend. Smiles, Carol

    I feel similar things happen, I was a very vulnerable little boy, but through sport learnt to hide and cover my weaknesses. But writing releases them?God knows.

Fast moving chapter, and the new complication with Cassidy you included added to the tension.
A lot going on, which makes it more interesting.
Was confused in just one place, where Emmy brought Mary coffee and asks if she needs sugar or creamer, the second part of the sentence should have been said by Emmy?
Good story,
irish

    thank you for the review and the suggestion. I think I am confused too! (which doesn't take much to do)

    ?I didn?t wake you, did I?? Emmy smiled and handed Mary a cup of coffee. ?If you need sugar or creamer, I can get you some from Darryl?s office.?

    Is this where you are referring? Yes, Emmy is saying the entire conversation.

    Appreciate the review and thank you for reading my story.
