Hello Gretchen,
when I read about the well running dry once, I started thinking about them possibly having to go to Dr. Monroe's house for water. That might prove interesting. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens.
Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

I love the way you describe the young relationship developing and the siblings. Each person in the story has the feeling of a distinct character who a reader could get attached to. Suggest using alternate wording for the sulfur water smell. Why does it "get like this?". Let me wander down a rabbit trail in my mind wondering if the smell was important to the story? Esther

    Not terribly important but just goes to show the hardships of Heddy and the people on the island. When a well runs dry, you're out of luck. Gretchen

Such lovely conversations! I particularly liked Momma probing Heddy about Willis. And Heddy's responses that they didn't need to talk because the waves put the demons to sleep. It's as if her parents are awkward around Willis and rely on Heddy to help them out. Hence the reason, I imagine, that Lester is so welcome to create a distraction? Nice anticipation regarding the storm as well. Sounds like there's going to be some drama ahead. Thanks for sharing, Gretchen. Debbie
