Brilliant job on your chapter. I haven't read any of the earlier ones, but didn't need to to compel follow the storyline. Your characters are well developed, your descriptions of the surroundings great! I'm glad I came upon this.

Take care,
Rhonda

This is a perfectly stunning chapter, Barbara. I couldn't find any mistakes, though, to be honest, the only way I could have would have been to pull myself out of the drama you had created on the screen of my mind. A slipped comma or a double-negative wouldn't be worth that. Everything was balanced and flowed. This is "seven" material!

Wow! What a sad chapter and probably true to life for a lot of women even in these times. This was a dramatic and emotional read and no spags. Thanks again.

Wow! This is a blockbuster scene with the meeting with Amy. I loved the legal talk about back support etc. that then devolved into the emotional revelation that Amy was raped. Well done.

This must have been a hard chapter to write, detailing what Amy went through. I hope Alexandra gets all the information she needs to expose Pat Rogers and get the support that Amy needs.

    It was hard to write, especially the research so I was sure to make it as realistic as possible. Thank you for the kind review.

I don't know how men like Rogers can exist and carry on, although this is fiction, it makes me sick how they can get away with it, I'm pretty sure you have plane plans for Mr. Rogers, and probably wish that you could shut them all down, beautifully written dear Girl, you did well, it upset me, I know it goes on. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

This is another great chapter, Barbara. There is no doubt Ali will help those women. This was a particularly exciting chapter. I can't wait to see Pat Rogers go down. Best, JohnC

It's a wonder Pat wouldn't have been charged already, as he's been accused of so many rapes. It's a wonder one of the women, anyway, would have spoken up. Amy is in dire straits and definitely needs that child support money. The way you describe the boy, he's a cute kid. Surely Amy has been taking advance of the SNAP and other government assistance programs. If she'd applied for aid, they would have gone after the husband for non-support. (Sorry for offering Amy my free advice.) Great characterization. Ali really gets her point across to Amy and she's on board to sue for child support and back payment. You also do a great job of showing Ali's feelings about what she's learned from Amy. judi

When Ali gets through with this serial rapist, he may not be able to pay child support if he goes to jail. It is a sobering that women could actually be caught up in situations a bad as the one Amy is in. He father is total jerk as well to refuse to listen to his daughter and to disown her. I'm enjoyed your story. I like the way you had Ali react with tears over the situation.

    Thank you for the kind review. I worried about the tears being too much, but that's how I would've reacted and have at times when I've had to make student home visits.
