You've done a good job of explaining how these abusive men operate. I like the way Troy explains the cycle of abuse. I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with cancer or were. I hope it has gone in remission.

Thank you, again.
Comment from NaughtieScribe
Wow, another strong chapter. I can truly feel for Anna. She needs to be concerned for ther son first. That said I'm sure Bobby is gonna find some reason to make her pay dearly for being a good mother.

Growing up around domestic violence is hard and extremely difficult. I know all too well. I can't wait to read on and find out what will happen next

You gave em a five star review but only rated it four stars. I am confused. What should I change to get five stars?
Comment from rzubey
Wow, the tension builds. I'm really liking your story. I can't believe that Bobby wouldn't let Anna take Michael to the doctor. It just makes no sense. He came roaring after Anna, but didn't get his son. I'm getting involved. That, to me, is a good story. I'm really excited to see where this will go. I'm really glad I decided to read your story from the beginning. It's drawn me in and has me hooked. Still no faults to find.

I like the interior dialogue. And I like how you advance the story with Troy observing an incident with the husband on the street.
Watch the POV, point of view. I should have mentioned that in the earlier selection where you switch from her point of view to his. It's best if you don't switch POV in the middle of a section, because it can really confuse a reader. Even the best writers have trouble with POV, so keep it simple.
Good plotting. This story really moves right along.

Comment from Roberta Joan Jensen
I'm waiting to see what Troy does for a living. Is he a counselor? He rides a bike. Is he a cop? You've really got me guessing.
Didn't spot any spags.

Troy watched Anna through the bookstore window. [Incomplete sentence]When he heard the rumble of loud pipes coming toward them and turned his head. Hmm, he must have Gibson headers on that thing. The sound stopped close to Anna. He watched a tall muscular man[] jump from a customized pick-up and run toward her.

Thank you for the kind review. Troy is a civil engineer, but there's a lot more to him, that we will discover much later.

I think the breaking up of the chapters makes this just the right length for easy reading. Holds interest and flows well.
Just one change possibly

I received a rating of three stars on one of these posts because it was too short. Thank you for understanding why I did it this way.
Comment from charolette.garrett
I liked the fact that it keeps my interest and I want to know if Troy will rescue her. However, in the beginning I was a bit confused because of the way the husband enter the scene but I soon came to realize that we were reading from Troys point of view. But i would like to know what are Gibson headers.

Gibson headers are a brand of exhausts that make tons of noise. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Mastery
Hi, Barbara. Hope you are doing much better. I see you have finished another fine chapter in your book. Bravo! Great writing as usual. I do have a couple of suggestions, if I may:
"He watched the dark haired man grab her arm and heard him yell." ( For a smoother sound "He watched the dark-haired man grab her arm then yell Or and yell)
"She turned on the engine and drove toward home." (she started the car)
