Isn't it funny? One can find true happiness not in the poverty of abusive people, but more in a life of giving, God had gifted her with someone who cared for and adopted her, and provided her with an opportunity to prosper by way of giving, that's why God prospers us, to provide the incalculable opportunity, to sow, as God Himself through Jesus, who became poor so we can be rich. You haven't failed to amaze me with your victorious stories and life Carol, well done, blessings Roy

    Hi, Beth... Yes, this is another sequel with Hank and Garth... at least I hope it is if everything goes well. i have two more chapters completed with three murders. LOL I needed to write about Mary because her background is important to the storyline. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Smiles, Carol

I enjoyed reading this contest entry. I am also going to enter this contest. After reading your entry, I'll need work really hard. Good luck.

Deciding that pacing would not make Jon get there any faster, she walked toward the kitchen. (You can omit the 'that')

Alec bit his lower lip. He closed his eyes and waited for her response. (How does Marry know this, we are in Mary's POV. She can't see over the phone.)

Alec dropped the phone and turned to face Jon's family. He hated every one of them. (Again, Mary can't see through the phone. The same for the rest of that section. Being in Mary's POV, she doesn't know what is happening on the other end of the phone. If you want to bring it in, you can but you need to get out of Mary's POV and go into Alec's.)

    Thanks, Barbara... I fixed the first two... There should be software that tracks down all the that's...LOL

    Since Mary slumped to the floor and fainted...and the phone was hung up... Wouldn't that put me in Alec's POV?

    I don't think you have to worry.. You excel at your stories. I have two more chapters completed and three murders..LOL. Things happen fast. I needed Mary's background, so I hope this works out okay.

    Smiles, Carol

    Mary slumping to the floor would be Mary's POV. Alex wouldn't no anything but the phone went dead.

    I guess I'm confused... If the phone is hung up by Jon's dad... does it not switch to Alec's POV then? Straightened me out Ms. Teacher
