So that's why Natasha told the lies about her father. How incredibly cruel she is, and yes, a born liar! Unbelievable that you had to go through this and fo so long! Powerful writing, and I just grive because it's non-fiction.

    Of course, parts of the story are fiction, but the characters are definitely true to life. And Natasha may never learn! I thank you for your kindness and the sixes. I am blessed that you and others are feeling the story and the tragedy behind it.

    Hugs, Carol

I don't want this story to end. I do understand that characters make up the story as it goes along. Mine do it all the time. Thank you for sharing it with us. It's a great story.

    I need to engrave next and beside on my computer so it might sink in.... fixed.

    As I try to wrap this story up it keeps unfolding and demanding more of me. I know there must be an ending somewhere.

    Smiles, Carol

I suspect you're living out your own experience Carol, and that's ok, many writers get a clue to life through their. My granddaughter is a preteen and working out the world of loving family and 'friends', although her mother and her aunt worked out the difference early, my granddaughter is a feisty, gifted child, but learning about life, but we'll continue to shelter, but let the consequences play out, sometimes one has to let things happen, well done, blessings Roy

    The story often hits too close to reality.... but life is what is and it's the path I walk for now. Thank you for comments and review.

    Have a great day...Carol

This story sounds almost just like what you wrote earilier agout what was going on in your family with your troubled granddaughter accusing her father of moslesting her. You knew she was lying, but you were having to keep her so she wouldn't have to go into Child Protective Services. I don't know how you are going to end this in one more chapter. This sounds like it was a nightmare for you. How could your be expected to take on such an unappreciated assignment from a grandaughter who is disrespectible. No wonder you left us for so long. This story started with Isobella appearing to have a heart attack and being taken away by ambulance. I hope that didn't happer to you.

    You have an excellent memory. I spent a sleepless night writing this chapter and attempting tofinsh the ending...but I need to step back today...Deep breath. They turned my life upside down, physically and mentally. Besides the health problems, my mind was stuck in a dark dark place. I'm writing again which makes me happy. As for my family, they've cut all ties and though it hurts, it's probably for the best. The ending will be fictional, but it was almost the truth. Though...it's not written yet...one never knows where my thoughts travel. Have a great day! Hugs, Carol

You do a great job of sharing the tension between Ava, Natasha, and Isabella. The writing is great as you can feel them working through a difficult situation. You can feel the tension. The writing is solid with excellent use of dialogue. That's how people talk! Great job!

    Good morning, Michael. How kind of you to continue reading my novel on this Sunday morning. Sleep failed to be entertained so my fingers strummed the computer keys. I am honored that you have found interest and appreciation in my story. Thank you so much.

    Have a great day! Carol
