Emotional chaos is the only way to describe Liz's reaction. So much to
ingest during such an upheaval. Obviously, she is upset. Meanwhile, the ongoing investigation of Annie's kidnapping seems to indicate Father Jon
has some knowledge. So much is up in the air that needs to land safely.

Comment from Patty Palmer
OMG! Liz is actually Hope! What a shock for Mary to find out! Hopefully, Liz (Hope) will come around. It has to be disheartening for Mary. I hope Annie is okay too. What a mess! I'll be looking for the next chapter. Still haven't been online much as my computer is being disobedient. LOL

Sorry for the cut and paste but I am now currently 158 responses behind. I want to make the changes, thank everyone and start fresh. Wishing you a great day.
Please forgive me for being so far behind on answering reviews, fixing suggestions, and thanking everyone for their kindness. Good thing a birthday only comes once a year. I posted to my family that I was cooking and for the first time in years, my house was over flowing for two days after two days of cooking. Now in three days, Matthew starts filming again and I must cook for them. This woman is tired. Thank you for all your support and kindness.

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
I reviewed this before Chapter 40, because the promotion is disappearing, but I suggest you read my review for Chapter 40 first.
Father Jon, praying for forgiveness and strength? That's a surprise -- though not more surprising than Liz's extreme reaction to seeing Mary on the property.

I fall at your feet and beg for absolution for the invested waters I wade in ... ["invested waters"? Maybe "infested waters"? I'm not sure about the usage of the word "invested." What does it refer to?]

Poor Mary had the double shock of first hearing that Jon was alive, and then getting the venomous greeting from Liz. How can this be resolved?

Grrrrr. Do. Not. Like. Jon.
(understarement)
God may forgive him but I'm not picking up what he's laying down!
Liz! Liz? What is at the core of all her anger?
Seems it goes way deep.
Will she soften? Will seeing Faith help?
I am as limp as a wet dishrag....
Does that psychopath priest have Annie or is her abduction being held over his head by Mason/SIN-thia?
Nothing "elementary" about THIS, "Watson!"
It need a drink....

I'll have a drink with you as well. I've been so busy trying to answer of these and get caught up that I haven't asked about you and the doctors. Any word yet on progress and surgery? Your true life story far exceeds the importance of my fictional one. Love ya

I'll PM you...

Comment from royowen
It would be nice to know that Jon the priest is turning, or Jon the hedonist is now despairing in his sins. Liz reacted pretty badly, I guess she's not ready to gear anything about Mary being her mother, or, in fact that faith is her sister, and indeed, Annie is her niece. You've cooked up a great plot,mand a great conflict going on. Beautifully written Carol. Blessings Roy

I will pray Carol
Comment from barbara.wilkey
wrap your arms around Annie so no harm comes to her. In the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ, I beg forgiveness for what I have done." (Does this prayer mean, Jon had something to do with the kidnapping of Annie, his granddaughter, although he doesn't know it yet?"
Oh my!!! How are they going to calm down Liz? This isn't a good thing. I can't wait for more.

OMG! if the ladies overreact like this and start spewing venom at each other, they will vaporize into thin air.! And the story will come to an abrupt halt.!:):0 seriously, I think you are making a place for the male characters like Jon to step in. Carry on carol. Give your characters a time of their life!

Comment from robyn corum
Carol,
Wow. No wonder you're dragging hiney. This stuff would take the strength from Samson, sweetie. You just poured everything you had into all your characters. No worry. You'll soon be sending energy charging EVERYWHERE. These characters are far too strong to STAY down. (As are you.)
Notes:
1.) What's her name?" He forced his eyes to meet the agents(').
2.) absolution for the invested waters I wade in with the man of darkness.
--> infested?
Thanks!
And you know I don't give 'pity' sixes.

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is another well-written chapter, Carol. I'm reading it first thing this morning and it's got my adrenaline flowing. It's so sad that Liz has taken such offence to her long-lost family and now the whole operation could be blown! Wow.
