Hello, Beth,

I love your story. It's engaging and it flows nicely. The characters are well developed.

Marsha did a good job talking to the principal and dealing with her daughter, Tracy. Poor thing is in a terrible situation. I wonder what is next.

    Thank you, Gypsy. I appreciate you reading and commenting on my story. It is based on close friend's true story, but I changed names and guessed the dialogue.

I like everything you write, your style and word choices always make what you're saying ring true to me. Which might have a lot to do with you as a person that I think I've come to know a little. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Marsha seems to have a lot on her plate just now, her husband in rehab, one daughter with drugs and another accused of hold drugs for her at school. Oh my goodness, how is she going to unravel all this trauma! A fine story becoming more and more difficult for Marsha, who said women are the weaker sex? I thoroughly enjoyed your chapter Beth, love Dolly x

Beth,
Your excellent chapter is so pertinent. Drugs are so dangerous -/especially LSD. I had a family member who tried it and had a bad trip. Despite that, he lead a productive life.
I like the way your story unfolds -/ about illegal drugs and infidelity.
Good luck with this book, Beth.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Great chapter, Beth. So much going on. For one thing it sure sounds to me like the daughter was set-up for a fall. Although if she really did show them to another kid that wasn't very smart on her part. The caller on the phone is concerning and I know what we all assume but I think it is something we wouldn't expect. Time will tell. Good job.

I'm wondering if this caller wasn't Trenton's girlfriend and she's pregnant. Hmm, an interesting twist and now drugs. Can't wait to read more.

Marsha took a deep breath and finally spoke. You can't imagine what a shock this is for me. I can understand your policy, but I'm sure these aren't hers. (missing beginning quotation marks, "You can't)

That's always problematic when one of the marriage partners decides to be less that forthcoming in a relationship, when trouble emerges, like this mysterious female, all sorts of possibilities arise, especially with her precious young being caught with drugs in her possession, great story Beth, blessings Roy

Marsha sure has her set of problems. I hope the marijuana situation turns out to be something innocent. Now this strange person phones. is Marsha doomed for trouble with her husband and with her daughter?

Sounds as if she has a full day wrapped up in just a few minutes of problems Drugs has caused our nation more problems than a person could ever know. We never knew such in our day. Marijuana to us was a town somewhere in Mexico. Good one , Beth.
