This was a great read from beginning to end, as usual. I enjoyed the interplay between father and son in trying to describe Anna

Hello Barbara. I am back after a long absence and was happy to see that you are still churning out some great writing. This posting is an excellent addition to this story. The dialogue is well done and the characters, as well as interactions with each other, have a real life feel. I only noticed one place that you may wish to take a look at. I am thinking that you may have intended to use the word "little" in the following line.
Troy studied it. "The eyes need to be a littler farther apart." You're one of the best and I am happy to be reading your work again.

Looking forward to your next submission...Tim

Barbara Wilkey has done it again. The script, the location, the voices and colors, the solitude and energy of the characters touch the readers profoundly. Barbara makes the reader SEE.

    I am just passing by for the time being, I am putting the last touches to the first two books of the 999 Steps Trilogy, "The Brotherhood of Valcourange" and "The Prodigal Son Returns", which will be at the book stores at the end of August. I Started the third book but it will take a little while to post in Fanstory,

A very good chapter. You even showed the inconsistency police encounter from eye witnesses. I did not see any SNAGS or other problems.

AH, EVEN IN STORIES, folks assume couples will get married. Of course in fanstory land - the changes of a happy ending are momentous.

I havent kept up with the story but understand it's concept all too well. Domestic violence is a subject close to home for far too many women, and men, for that matter and it's something that people are rarely willing to talk about or get involved in until it's too late. This is a good write, I saw no spag, or need for revising. Thank you for calling attention to this sensitive and important subject. Im sure you have a hit here.

The search for Anna continues. I'm glad that Aunt Margaret has finally got the sketch of Anna to the satisfaction of Troy. I'm sure they are getting close to finding the missing girl.

Your dialog and detail is great. You have a lot patience. You might want a comma in the first sentence:

After dinner Margaret removed her sketchpad
After dinner Margaret, removed her sketchpad

Also, for some reason, the second "sigh" (Paul, I think it was) caught me as repetitive. The first one by Margaret helped me feel her mild exasperation.

Good writing, Barbara. I liked the way his aunt was finally able to get a sketch that looked like Anna. Hopefully, they will be able to find her and help her. April
