Scary that Anna can't remember what happened in her house, but I guess part of her doesn't want to remember that horrible day and the consequences that put her in a hospital.

Well done!

Barbara,

This is an excellent chapter that shows Anna's reaction to the crime scene. Does she know that Bobby is dead? I enjoyed this read and have one wordsmithing suggestion.

"After Anna stood in the parking lot, the teenager who owned the two large {breed} dogs came up to her." I don't think you need the word "breed." Just a suggestion.

Dave

Good chapter, you showed Anna's courage. Your final scene had definite tension in it. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Some nits are:
1st Chapter:take out, "in your side"
3rd chapter: change "won't" to "wouldn't"
"taking control of the wheelchair" sounds so much better than "pushed the wheel chair" (They went into the hall)
"Anna blew out air." (sounds like she farted) How about, "Anna let out a deep breath."
"I wonder what they're discussing." Needs a (?)
"I wonder how the teenager helped us." Needs a (?)

Traumatic injuries which cause repressed memories of the event are well woven here. The flow is fast-paced with just enough intensity to keep the reader completely engaged. Excellent cliffhanger to set up the next segment. Great job, Barbara. td

Hello again Barbara
The book is progressing nicely. This is a very well written chapter. Your reader can really feel Anna's emotions while reading it and imagine exactly what she must be feeling

A smoothly written chapter that continues the main story. The Troy and Paul meeting is interesting with some good tension. I'll look for the next chapter. Ray.

The poor girl. It's all coming back. It's so true that our brains can conveniently remove unpleasant memories. Well written, Barbara. I get the feeling Anna is on the way back up now. The worst is over.

Tory is such a SWEETIE!

Enjoyed the read.

Hugs, Av

Hi Barbara, I'm enjoying reading your novel. I just wanted to know what 'it' refers to here? "It won't take long at the apartment.

I liked the way you dealt with her memory loss
here:
"I can't believe I forgot my son's birthday." Tears welled in her eyes.
This is another well written extract... Regards TM
