Comment from Rachelle Allen
I feel a little lost. SHE's offering YOU $150? And she's going to give you a place to stay? Are you going to take care of her children? (Is this me post-COVID brain?) I'm so sorry, Lea; usually, I totally understand everything you write. xoxo

Comment from JSD
Oh I so hope you are right. This feel good. Sorry I've been away for a bit - some FanStory fatigue - you know how it is, and then life takes over a bit. I have been reading, Lea, just not reviewing. With you in spirit. x

No problem, John, I understand this occasionally I have to take my eyes away too, and I also thank you very much for coming back and reading and offering your kind of opinion because your words mean a lot to me. Thank you again my friend!
Comment from Jim Wile
I loved your description of the forest and what a comfort it has been to you and remains so to this day. Except for that one bad storm (which wasn't the forest's fault), it's been nothing but good for you each time you've stayed there.
Could this encounter with the Indian lady be the first break and the first bit of kindness someone has ever shown you? Let's hope so, as you surely deserve some kind of good fortune to come your way. She seems genuinely caring, and she certainly came along at the right time. I'm hoping this is for real and won't lead to further disappointment for you, and that you finally begin to see that there is some good in the world of man. You certainly haven't seen much evidence of it yet. - Jim

Thank you so much, and I'm happy to see you here and thank you for your review. Yes, some chapters are difficult unfortunately but necessary. I thank you for hanging in there with me you have an amazing day!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I only hope this is a good decision, people offering you things can sometimes turn out to be in their favour. But there are good people in this world who are unselfish and kind, I hope this lady is one of them, another fine chapter Lea, love Dolly x

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I am with you. I hope this works out. It seems like a simple solution and that's scary. I am enjoying reading. Thank you for sharing.
"No time like the present." I thought. (thought should be in italics)
The newspaper,I knew, would have job listings. (space needed after the comma)
I sat down at a table with a newspaper (you can omit 'down' it's understood)
"Joo are to be ok miss?" She asked (she asked.)
"No home?" She asked. (she asked.)
"Come." The lady said. ("Come," the lady said. )

Comment from Jacob1395
I'm hoping that this part will mark a turning point in your story, Lea, and I was glad that you were offered the job, particularly after everything you've been through. You tell us your story so well, and I can imagine it must be really difficult to revisit as well. Another excellent chapter.

I hope this turns out to be good for you. You deserve a break for the things you've been through lately. This is good that you've found someone concerned about I think. I'm waiting to see what is next.

Hi Beth! Thank you so much for your review and your fine rating! Your well wishes are happily received! I hope you are well and wish you the best night! Thank you again!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well my heart lifted when I read the title because that alone resonates with positivity. Your story is rich in descriptive detail about the forest, always a pleasure to read. And, at last, some human life that offers hope! This is all such pleasing relief from that forbidding past. Small edits in the main body: waving (without the 'i') and pe(e)ked out around her dress (great image!). A lovely chapter, Lea! Love Debbie x
