Oh this was a beautiful chapter. It tied up the loose ends nicely, and still gave us a happily to come ending. I love how Anna told off her father, he needed to be backed up. Yet I feel her real family Troy, Paul, Betty, Margaret, and Everett are all Anna and Michael need. When the crap hit the fan, they were the ones who put themselves on the line for them. This was an excellent read. Thanks for allowing me to indulge.

This piece has excellent dialog in it. I had the feeling of a family being together and all of the positives and negative you put into this has a reality in a real life situation. This was excellently written and I was very entertained reading it... John

Hi Barbara. I've read a couple of your earlier chapters and I have to say this is very well written indeed. Your dialog is very natural and your descriptions make the story come alive in my head. Archie

I think I read an earlier chapter. But this chapter is so wonderfully written. You did a fantastic job. Truly, a fantastic job. If only I had another star...

It's just excellent. I can't even specify what it is, but I'll try. For one thing, the tension between the characters. And the resolution has a little bit of an aww, but it's not too much.
I think what did it for me was the relationship between Anna and her dad. It reminded me of myself with my daddy. I do call him daddy, and we've had similar type conversations (not abuse)

Great end!

It is easy to see why Anna stayed so long with Bobby. She didn't have the support of her parents. Parents she should have been abled to depend on when Bobby got violent. I'm happy to see that her father understood this in the end.

Great ending. Worth waiting for. I like the way Anna has grown in this book. I was glad you didn't make the scene with Abner too gentle and easy.

A very nice ending to your very nice book. I have enjoyed it all the way and hope to see more of your writing soon. I have always enjoyed the sight of Indian Blanket's covering a field in the spring. Blessings, Linda
