I like the pace of the story, and your characters are realistic. I am glad the dad (Abner) finally showed some concern for his daughter. I definitely want to know what will happen next! Great job!

Wpw. One cannot help but wonder where did Anna go. You did an excellent job in writing this chapter and it will make a great addition to your story.

This was a good read from beginning to end, as usual. It was nice to see Anna's parents have a change of heart. I look forward to the next chapter.

This makes much more sense now I've read the previous part.
I do enjoy reading your writing it has a wonderful flow to it. I hope you managed to regain your book's picture.
Looking forward to the next part.

It's nice to change it up once in a while anyway. I hope you get your computer fixed and all is well. Hope you are well too.

There was a diner (-in) (on) the next block. It's a good night for a walk.

Good chapter, maybe the father was a bit too quick to forgive, I grew up with stuborn and they don't come around that quickly. LOL.
Lots of hugs

    I think he had some help from the wife. So far the dad is just concerned, not ready to help Anna. Thank you for your kind review.

Good to read another episode of your story as it moves forward - I keep waiting for a sign of Troy's demons you mentioned in the intro - so far he seems lily-white.
Tiny spags:
'glanced at Abner' - we don't know his name yet...
'He glanced at this watch' - 'his watch'??

Good effective writing that will engage the reader. The dialogue is good and we are taken up with the drama of the piece always asking ourselves what will happen next in this tale of abuse and beatings.

Your chapters in this one are short but very entertaining, Barbara. I love your character's personality and your dialogue flows so naturally. Great job.

From your author note it seems as though you need a breather. I remember back in '62, I graduated from elementary school in the morning, my brother that evening and three days later my mother and father celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. That was a busy week.

Loved the post and didn't like the dad at first, glad he came around... he does care. Ray aka R. K. Alan
