Great dialogue and all the way through, excellent imagery. Keep it up!

One typo:
"I wasn't aware we had guests." Liz stood in the doorway, staring at the unkempt woman talking to Cassidy. She wore a soft pink blouse and a pair of blue jeans with cowboy boots. Liz's blonde hair was swept away from her face, twisted in a knot on the top of her head. A pair of silver hoops dangled from her ear lobs. She was a vision except for the stern look on her face.
lobs should be Lobes

    You are catching up, girlfriend.

    I fixed the "e" and all is well. I finally just finished catching up myself on the hundred or so reviews. I'm not complaining but I hate to fall that far behind.

    Where's my ice cream? LOL

    Love ya, Carol

Poor Mary didn't take the news well at all, but what could be expected? It was very disorienting to learn of this immense betrayal and that this man, who she loved all her life, even in his death, now lived as a man of badly tainted character.

Errors and suggestions:

"He came to the hospital after the prison stabbing.
-->
"He came to the hospital after the prison stabbing."

A pair of silver hoops dangled from her ear lobs.
-->
A pair of silver hoops dangled from her ear lobes.

***

With Mary confusing Liz for Faith, one would almost think they were identical twins. But they must have been fraternal twins, if they had different hair colors -- unless Liz was dyeing her hair.

    Sorry for the cut and paste but I am now currently 158 responses behind. I want to make the changes, thank everyone and start fresh. Wishing you a great day.

    Please forgive me for being so far behind on answering reviews, fixing suggestions, and thanking everyone for their kindness. Good thing a birthday only comes once a year. I posted to my family that I was cooking and for the first time in years, my house was over flowing for two days after two days of cooking. Now in three days, Matthew starts filming again and I must cook for them. This woman is tired. Thank you for all your support and kindness.

    One day, I opened up FanStory and I had about 18 replies... turned out, they were mostly from you. Ditto, ditto, ditto... it's all good. Bless your heart!

Oh crap! I can not drop a five here when only a six will do! The problem with reading this in a few days is I don't have nearly enough sixes....and justifiably they should all go to you!

This chapter is everything I prayed it would be and more!

I cried.

To hear Jon is alive? Every fairy tale she told herself is shattered. Death was final. This is torture!

Annie! We need Annie! And (can I handle any more?)-- The twins!

All the crime stuff is on hold for me. This is yet another Carolism! Nobody layers faith, love and family over crime like you!

Six MILLION stars!

(Remember I said that cu Have may be out!)

Bravo!

    Just exactly the reaction I prayed for...thank you so so much! Yes, the crime is great but the emotions twisted and wrapped around family and their faith and love is the best! I am so happy you loved this one!

    If it makes me cry I KNOW you're doing everything right!

It's so strange yet so true that we believe what we want to believe about a person. Poor Mary - her dream of Jon shattered - what heartbreak. You have written another intense chapter, and as always I eagerly anticipate the next.

Ah, love is blind and young love is blind and deaf. A very emotional chapter and a roller coasters ride from Mary and Cassidy. Now, we are all thinking, is Faith and Liz sisters, twins separated at birth or something else going on as the threads come together.

Good stuff.

    Thank you so much. My apologies for being so late in responding. It must be "old age" settling in or all the company the last few days. But I do appreciate your time, review and thoughts. Smiles, Carol

OK, the story about the twins is unfolding slowly but steadily. As the mother, I am sure Mary would have a gut feeling about Faith. How does Hank feel about this? Hope he wouldn't make things complicated! umm! let's see! Good going!

    thanks for reading and following the story. Appreciate it very much. Mary will be torn in shreds as she sees her long lost child.

Seeing is believing! Now that Mary has seen Liz, she is stunned by the resemblance to her daughter Faith. So now the truth is right before her eyes. Will Mary guess the truth or will Hank be the one the tell her?
It appears that Mary's prayers are being answered, one by one.

    Mary has a very good heart and has shared it caring for so many when she did not have to do it. I pray that now she will be blessed with some good. though Liz might not be as acceptable to the idea.

    Thanks so much, Ralf. Your review and stars are very kind.

Even though I knew that Liz was the other twin, your writing still gave me goosebumps. It is all coming out. The truth. The pain of many years. Such good writing. Thank you!

    Great! Goosebumps I like. Thank you, Wendy.....

    I fear the road isn't going to be smooth sailing yet and we still have to track down Annie and save her.

Hooray - Mary met her other daughter. Now they will have to let them know, right? It probably wasn't the timing that Hank was hoping for but after that avalanche of Jon's bad history that Cassidy dumped on her, this can only be good! But they really should get off that patio. Who knows if Cynthia is snooping!
