Barbara, you are leaving us in a suspence, aren't you? No fair. LOL I immediately wanted to look for the link to the next chapter. I can't wait to see who I hope is on the other side of that door.

This is a very fast moving chapter. Mysteries are coming around and unexpected events. I was left on the high air, I wonder what's aunt Margaret's news.

It sounds like Troy might be going to get to see Anna and Michael? At least for a moment? I'm glad his dad has decided to be Anna's lawyer.

We have to wait in suspense to find out what is happening. It doesn't sound like it is good news about Anna. This is a very suspenseful, well written story. Looking forward to the next unfolding chapter.

Hi Barbara, I'm sorry I haven't read other chapters,  but I found this one interesting and well written. I believe Anna is an abused woman and she's safer in the hospital. This behaviour is more common than we know. I hope she's safe.



I will look for the next chapter.

Hey, loved the hook at the end of this chapter. A real page-turner. I kinda like Troy, hope he doesn't regress into a less-than-desirable character, but I guess I'll have to wait.

This is good to look at battered women's situations. As a man, I've seen battered women stay with abusive men and think, "Why not just leave the asshole?" But there are a lot of issues about control and psychological abuse too.

Anyway, this is a great book, Barbara. Keep the pages turning.

Hello Barbara,
Wow, another great addition to your story. This piece was well done as usual with a great use of dialogue that flowed well and held my attention. The only thing you may wish to look at is putting a space in between the words safe()haven that is found in the first sentence. Great job and I look forward to your next post...Tim

This is another good chapter. The dialogue and the action moves along well and the lure for the next chapter section is there. As I have said in another review, I still find the characters stilted and without warmth or appeal other than they are trying to help Anna. I realize that I have missed a great deal of the earlier sections and maybe commenting erringly.

Picayune points:

The line "The men worked through lunch before they were comfortable with their proposal." didn't prepare me for the fact that they finished after 6:00 p.m. I thought there was a timing error.

"Margaret stepped outside and motioned with her right hand to someone." I would have completed this sentence after the word "hand". While it obvious she wasn't motioning to adog, it just helps to keep the mystery there.

" I'd better get my mind off Anna and start on that stack of papers on my desk. I have a meeting in the morning with..." Because it was before sunrise that he thought this, I thought the morning meant tne morning of that day, not the following day.

" He grinned. "I may..." - space after quotation marks
