That is no good at all what her granddaughter is doing, Becky is right, Nat's father could get into a lot of trouble and be labelled for life. Good job Isabella heard it all. Now what? Ulla xcx

    Hi, Ulla...
    Thank you so much. I have posted 31 and 32 and will post the finale on Sunday. I'm a bit nervous for it to be complete, but it's been good therapy. I appreciate that you have followed the story and enjoyed it.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

As with most fiction, there are many parts that are often taken from truth or something we've seen, heard, or read. Then, we tell it as fiction to protect the innocent, those we are trying to protect, and the others we are wanting to send a message to. But either way, it makes for an intense story. Thanks for sharing.

    Take it to the preacher, my friend! Life hands out so much at times, we often find our outlet in writing and trying to right wrongs. this one is about to wind down...Chapter 33 the end is written and waiting. I hope people are satisfied with the ending. My son asked over and over if it was going to be good or bad... I couldn't decide until the very end.

    That's the best thing about writing. We can twist and turn everything to suit ourselves. Good or bad. :-)

You have created a memorable villain. Becky can't even stand her anymore. Natasha is going to spend a lot of time behind bars in a few years if she doesn't change her ways. If the conversation is from Isabella's point of view as she is listening from the closet, she can't actually see anyone roll their eyes or shrug or nod, but she can know when they move about in the room and Becky can even stomp her feet in fury.

    I agree that I believe Natasha and her (live counterpart) are headed for serious trouble and sadness. Thanks for pointing out the point of view...I got wrapped up in the moment but I'll try to make appropriate changes.
    Have a great day!

I'm ready to ring Natasha's neck! At least Becky has some sense in her brain. That eavesdropping scene was a good device to let the reader in on the truth. Well done chapter!

Issue:
Natasha slumped across the bed. not looking at her (a comma instead?)

Natasha is a little teenaged demon playing around telling adult stories, but making immature child-like decisions. I love the way you started this novel in Chapter 1, and took us through the twisted backstory. I recall Isabella was taken to the hospital, but I'm hoping Natasha has to pay in some way, for all the lies she has told. She cares about no one but herself.

    Thank you, Lorraine

    I finished and wrapped the story this afternoon...three chapters. I struggled with blending in the beginning of the story so I had to repeat a little. When I rewrite, I think I will move the beginning to the end. When I started, the story was headed somewhere else and it got a life and took me down this route. The ending is fiction but I'm satisfied with it and I hope you will be too. Thanks so much for following it.

    Smiles, Carol

At least Becky now knows the truth and may have the integrity to stand for it even at the cost of losing her friend and being in trouble re the drugs. My heart is aching, as I fill in the gaps. Very well written, and I am sorry to be out of a six-star rating for you.

    Not a problem, Wendy. I got on a roll today and finished the story...three more chapters. I made an effort to narrow it down, but it wasn't meant to be. The plot thickens and then explodes so be prepared.

    Thanks so much, Carol

Hooray for Isabella and her stealthy spying! She found out the truth but she won't be able tell Ava because that would open more problems but at least, she can rest her mind about her son-in-law. Scary stuff that Nat is playing with!

    Hello, Helen...

    I finished the story today...three chapters. I tried to narrow it down, but it wasn't meant to be. As the plot continues to thicken, it just might explode. It's quite a ride!

    Thanks so much...I hope you enjoy the remaining chapters.

Tell the cops. They can question Becky and get the straight skinny. Becky will fold like a dinner napkin.
Natasha should at the very least go to a mental hospital, she is half a bubble off plumb. Good writing. Karen :-)

    Tell the cops! Not yet...that takes all the remaining explosions out of the story. LOL I actually finished it today (3 chapters). I couldn't make it any less. Hope you enjoy it and find the ending different than you expected.

    How did you like my simile" Becky" will fold like a dinner napkin ? Was it good? Karen
reply by the author on 29-Feb-2024
    Yes, you did good! And she does!

    I love simile. I always thought it was a part of country story telling. Along with the meandering way I write. We pull you in with the mundane everyday stuff, buying groceries and whatnot, that by the time we are cutting up the bodies for premium liver sales you have been properly sucked in. It seems to work. Karen :-)
