This is intriguing. I can't wait to find out what's in the bottle! Is it a love potion, is this all for a placebo effect? You've got my curiosity peeking

Oh my goodness, I am totally intrigued by this tantalising post. I wonder what was in that little bottle that will change this girl's life? I have so many questions and I suppose I will have to wait for your next post to have the answers. I enjoyed this chapter, love Dolly x x x

    Dolly, thank you for this excellent review, my friend. I am enjoying the reviews I am receiving thus far. They are encouraging me to continue this journey and the next chapter is insane lol. What's in the jar? This is the topic of the reviews. Dodie Rae or her grandmother never expected what the contents of the jar would do to her. One will be invigorated and the other horrified.
    Thank you for the excellent review and I hope to get the next chapter up by the weekend. I'm trying to get one up weekly, hopefully that's enough to keep everyone reading.
    God bless,
    Steve

The dialogue carries this, Steve. I could hear the voices in my head as clearly as if I'd been a fly on the wall. Looking forward to reading the next chapter and finding out what was in that bottle.

    Thank you, Tony, for this excellent review, my friend. I am getting more and more excited with every review. I feel I know the whole story, and now I need to get it all down.
    I am working on cleaning up the next chapter and need to move forward with what comes next before sharing. This is moving a bit faster than I am used to, lol.
    God bless,

Hi, Steve

You left me wanting more. There are a lot of unanswered questions Like what is in the bottle and why it works on men.

A few other things. I just noticed that this is a chapter in your book Dodie Rae. So, I guess those mysteries
will be solved in future chapters.

Why do men abuse women. I was with my husband for 45 years and he never once lay a hand on me. If he had, I would've left him. I know that's easy to say, and if you get a truly abusive man, you might not make it out of the relationship, but you have to try.

I can't wait! I enjoyed reading your story

Here subject Is plural so are the first things

" The fragrance of swamp water and its residents is the first thing "

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

I think we all need grandparents as a living example of a life well lived and an understanding of life, love and grace, I never really knew my grandparents, we migrated when I was very young, as were my parents, beautifully written Steve, excellent post, blessings Roy

    Thank you, Roy. I'm sorry you didn't know them throughout your life. I was lucky enough to have mine for some time, through the good and the bad.
    God bless, my friend.

I love the dialogue in this, Steve! You've definitely mastered that. And your story is well expressed and prompts me to imagine all sorts of outcomes from this intriguing family chat. But now I want to know what happens next. You've left this a bit on a knife edge. Credit to you for this fascinating story that will keep me guessing! Take care Debbie

    Thank you, Debbie, for this excellent review. I am currently revising the next chapter and hope to share by the weekend. I work 12 hrs a day and am off Monday and Tuesdays. This is when I have to play catch up. I don't want to lose the momentum as the reviews I am receiving are quite encouraging.
    God bless,

Okay... I know what just happened, though I do not know how, why or what, yet.

It read with interest in my perspective as I'm anxious to read what happens next when Dodie Rae gets home and faces her husband.

Nicely composed and presented.

John

    Thank you, John, for the excellent review. I toyed with adding what happens next with this chapter, but was afraid it might seem too long. I am still quite green when it comes to these issues.

    Generally many readers shy away from longer posts really only trying to capture member dollars as quick as possible. I call the member dollar whores? (sorry).

    Ha! Ha! Well, I would have to agree. Do you think I should combine them? It would double the length. I'm looking for genuine feedback that will help me hone my craft.
