Another great chapter! Leave it up to good ol' dad to be thinking what he thought after all she'd already been through. LOL Nice work on this chapter. Keep it up!

Can't say I care much for Abner. I'm sure he means well, but he sounds hard to live with. Louise comes across as both caring and loving. With this background, I can see why Anna ran off.

Good job!

A good chapter, Barbara; so typical of some parents!

Betty shook the White's (Whites')hands.

Everyone found a seat,(no comma) but sat in silence(,) avoiding each other's eyes.

"How could your mother and me (I) hold our heads up?

    I will fix the first two, but not the second, even though it's correct. It's dialogue and Abner isn't well educated. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi, Barbara, it seems that things are getting more complicated for Anna, especially after she met her parents with their views about everything. You are such a good story teller, my friend. You think about every thing and every detail...:)

I don't think the baby understood what happened. Maybe Anna doesn't either. I wonder about her true emotional state. Always someone new in the story. Good dialogue going along. I like that the family did grace before dinner. It's a refreshing change. Nicely done. Keep up the good work.

Lovely artwork.

Seeing the parents after so many years is hard for Anna, but it makes an interesting and emotional story. You make her father the unforgiving type who has definite ideas about a woman's place. "A woman has no business trying to be independent." I can understand why Troy thinks it might help Anna heal if she sees her parents, but her father's attitude might just make matters worse. Very well written and believable. judi

Excellent character development of the father, especially.
Wonderful use of dialogue to convey his conservative attitudes and his suspicions. This is an excellent chapter. Brooke

Barbara, boy, her daddy is really a winner. Makes one wonder why did he even come there? He will never really forgive her. And, lurking in the distance, maybe a hurricane to mix things up? Very good, entertaining chapter.

Thanks for the background which helps a lot, as this is my first exposure to your novel. I really liked this Part of Chapter 22. Even jumping into the middle of it, it's obvious that this is excellent quality writing. Anna is completely beliveable in her vulnerability, and Troy has just the right amount of assertiveness. Abner has zero tact, but is doing what thinks is necessary to help Anna. I got a good feel, good vibes, about the novel and I wish you well with it.
