Very well done Barbara. Your story handles a very sensitive subject with class and boldness. I usually try to find an editorial insight to offer, but in this case I think to leave well enough alone is best. Very well done.

Great story line, well written and interesting. Love the suspense that has been created with the search now on for the abductor. You can feel the romance aspect beginning to blossom. You are a great story teller.I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Enjoy the background description! Since, this is the first page of the story no idea what the main characters look like. Loved the silent thought she has of the cricket! Also, confused as to who the "Rodgers" were and why they want the baby(again, probably previously, explained). Respect the fact that this story seems to faces on all domestic abuse(of both men and women)! Kudos for that! Great story and other than, the moon there is not too much description to go on. Wish you the best!

The flow of this works beautifully , and leaves me wondering what happens at the end, their eyes meet. And it begs questions how will it work out, particularly if they both have issues?, will it get in the way of something special?
brilliant effort.

Hi Barbara - I haven't been on FS in quite awhile, so as soon as I got on, the first thing I wanted to do is catch up with your wonderful story. I great post. One of the things I wish I could learn from you is pace. Your stories are perfect! Bill

    Feeling great. I finally fully retired and assumed I would have all sorts of time for writing ... not!

I loved your story, your message at the end and the ability to grab my attention with your first words. I was completely caught up in the storyline, maybe because at one time, I was one of the 82% when my twins were babies. Well done!

I bet a few readers are itching for the Troy/Anna relationship to get moving - the little snippets are tantalising.
This is good as always with a nice balance of narration and dialogue.

    Thank you for the kind review. Since Anna was abused I can't move their relationship too fast. It would not be realistic.

Nicely done, Barbara. The scenes move well, and the reader gets a good sense of Anna's fear, as well as Everett's, Troy's, Betty's and Paul's determination to both figure out whodunnit and prevent it from happening again.

Thank you for a great read.

The visuals of the full harvest moon brought back memories and I enjoyed reading this wonderful and well written chapter.

    Thank you for the kind review. A reviewer told me the moon wasn't descriptive enough.
