Carol,

BECAUSE THEY'RE TWINS!!! Will Mary tell her - right now? Will she reach out and hug her and shout for joy to have found her? What's gonna happen next?

And now I come to the end. UGH! See? There is a good part to being so behind. It's like reading the story in novel form where I can just keep turning those lovely pages!!! *smile*

Groovy story and great job, my friend!

Of course Liz is Mary's natural daughter, a twin to Faith, that's why they look s alike. This is so complex, but you've built a love story into what was a complex murder/crime mystery, about an evil man, Mason Caldwell, Jon is not beyond redemption, weak, but not totally evil, However Mason Caldwell is. Beautifully written Carol, very clever, blessings Roy

    I couldn't make the story just about crime...it wouldn't be me. The world is ugly but there's plenty of beauty thanks to the wonderful world God has created for us. It's what keeps me going even in the tough times. Smiles and hugs, Carol

Devastating--a more violent reaction than I could have construed. Brilliant. Thanks for posting these together.

she spat [SUGG OMIT verbal] bullets

If your lies were true, I know he'd HAVE written me

SUGG OMIT Having never seen Faith, Cassidy couldn't see Liz's uncanny resemblance. Only her blonde hair differed from Faith's brown hair--(only Mary knows this)].

    Suggestions changed except for the description at the end. Many people keep saying they have no idea what Faith or Liz look like so I thought it might ease their stress.

    Thanks...Carol

This is an amazing continuation of the last chapter, Carol. So much is coming out, and the women are all totally confused. I think some of the men need to appear to control the chaos that's about to explode! Well done.

Well, I sort of ration the few sixes that they give us, and in trying to be fair, I'm not always able to reward my special friends like you who post most often or I wouldn't have anything left for anyone else. However, someone is going to get left out this week, because I can't help but throw you another set of stars, which will never enough reward for your fine writing. Thanks for sharing. Smiles and hugs!

    Hi, my shining knight,

    I am always grateful and humbled to receive one of your sixes and fully understand I can't have them all. Darn!!! The two chapters I posted today were special and I couldn't wait till it was time to release them. The following one should have a lot of bite in it too but I won't get to that. I currently have 48 reviews to answer and 14 messages.... a busy girl I will be. Thank you for blessing me with your kindness and sharing your stars. Smiles and hugs, Carol

So finally everyone meets -- well, almost everyone. Great chapter! Is Mary going to believe that Jon is not the man she loved as a teen? And will Cassidy still be safe? Where are Garth, Hank, and Tango? Did they fall asleep? LOL! So many questions yet! Blessings.

    Thank you....Mary has carried her own image of Jon for a long time. I think it will be a powerful sting to realize he's not the man she believed. I didn't want to clutter the chapter with men. LOL But I think they will be coming around the corner. thank you for blessing me with your review and stars. Smiles and hugs, Carol

    Yes, it's always difficult to realize things are not as we remember them. Great chapter.

I wish I'd saved the six for this .... no I don't, I wish I could give you another six!! Oh Carol, this was heart breaking! At least the pain of Jon and the lies, can be tossed aside now she knows both her children are with her again. Hank and Garth have to come out soon, goodness me, are they deaf? Liz has to be told the truth now, and Mary, and Liz's twin before she dies! What a heck of a chapter, this was amazing! You are so very good at this writing lark, my friend! I loved this, it's what I've been waiting for. Wow!!!!! Well done. Loved it, :)) Sandra xxxxx

    I wanted to put them in the window and commenting, but then I get in big trouble for changing my POV. Some really clobber me for that so I left it out. I already get myself in too deep as it is. Did the emotions come across strong enough for you? I really wanted the reader to feel how difficult this discovery was for everyone.

    Thank you so much for always being there for me. Smiles, hugs and lots of love...Carol

    You wrote it beautifully, Carol, enough to bring years to my eyes. I wouldn't change a thing. Lots of love, I'm off to bed now! Xxxx

Oh my! It's going to get real now. Hank had better hurry and intervene. This is going to get really good. Wow!!


The angry faded from Mary's eyes, and a calmer expression drifted across her face. "I can ease his pain." (The ANGER??? faded....)

    fixed....

    Yes, I am not sure how Liz is going to accept Mary and Faith along with everything else that is happening in her life. She's a fragile one...like Katherine...and hasn't a lot of trust since Jack died.

    Smiles and hugs, Carol

So much is happening here. I hope they make Mary understand that Jon must not find out that Cassady is alive. I guess very soon now Liz will learn she has a mother and a sister. Maybe you're told about this before but I can't remember anything about the people who raised Liz. Are they still alive? Or did she ever leave the orphanage?

    Yes, Liz was adopted at eight years old. She was sickly and no one wanted her until she was older. She had a good life but was very protected and pampered...and Jack did the same to her. She's sort of floundering like a fish out of water. Smiles, CArol
