Excellent post. I liked the development of Soni. How she went to the grave site to seek advise. I made that same trip several times when I was young. I stumbled with this line, not sure if you were trying to develop Alex's broken English or not.

Great chapter, Barbara. I love your story. Is Kuruk a ghost spirit or a flesh and blood person? On to the next chapter!

    That's an interesting question for this post. Kuruk is a real person, but.... Thank you for reading.

Hi Barbara:)
Another well-written and interesting post. I especially liked your introduction of the Lipan Apache spirituality as shown by Soni's grandfather, when she visited her parents graves to pray for guidance and found him there.

I liked the dialog between Soni and her Grandfather as he shared the wisdom of his ancestors.

I am surprised that Soni didn't notify the sheriff about their visitor, His behavior indicates that he is hiding something that could be criminal in nature. (I realize that you are using this to build suspense.)

I was happy to see that you have increased the size of the Rockin' A ranch to a realstic size fo a medium-sized Texas ranch.

I was slow reviewing this because I have been slowed by a foot infectin. I think the problem is under contorl now and I am back at work. I still have enough love and Irish Hugs to share with you for you entertaining story.

Roger

Another great chapter. I have followed this since it began and you never disappoint in any way. I love the characters and the way they are unfolding throughout the story. The mystical grandfather and very kind and caring Alex and Tatiana. The tension is mounting yet again and l can't wait for the next chapter. Genya

Nice job of setting background and some characterization. Two minor things; 1 - I think it should be The clattering of dishes and 2 - a sip of coffee rather than a drink of coffee. Nice job.

"(t)he Great Creator..."<< needs a cap; it's the start of a sentence (dialogue)

Have I mentioned I like the name you chose for the dog - "Goliath"? Barbara, your narrative voice is again, so strong, and this plot is refreshingly original. Most enjoyable.

    The dog is huge, I had one so I figured Goliath is a good name. I will check out that sentence.

This is a well-written chapter which gives good insight to Soni's situation and to that of her ancestors and parentage. The conversation sounded natural.

Hi Barbie, a very good chapter. Soni seems in quite dilemma with this man she has brought home. It is funny how her granddad always knows how to guide her. I hope she has some answers now. Well penned. luv jada

A good chapter, Barbara. Clean. No discernible SPAG.

We're seeing more of Soni's pensive side, I feel. Also, the fact that she seeks guidance from her deceased father, shows the spiritual side of her nature.

The way her grandfather is depicted, the reader doesn't really know whether he was with her in the flesh at the end or was a vision.

Interesting chapter.
