That was a really sweet thing for Noah to have done for Sami and I could feel the joy that she felt at seeing her family again. Another excellent chapter in your novel Barbara, I really like how Sami and Noah's relationship is deepening. I can't wait to read the next chapter.

Story lives can sometimes seem even more complicated than real life, but most of the time I think that because we don't see all of peoples' lives in action. Thanks for sharing.

    This reminds me of a talk I had with a friend, once. She was having issues with one of her kids. She said something about how other people's kids were always so well behaved. My reply was they don't tell you everything. Kids are kids and misbehavior. I think that's the way with life. Thank you for the kind review.

I'm amazed at your ability to keep so many characters in your stories doing so many different things. Then bring them back together! How do you do that? Me, I have to stay with my main character, all the way through the story.
That is why you get Six Stars! Your Friend Knowledge.

An emotional reunion for Sami which has inevitably bucked up her spirits. A sort of half-way house between protective custody and freedom. I feel I can breathe again for Sami after the claustrophobic environment she's been in. I like the way you've structured this, Barbara, to convey the extent of Sami's free spirit and independent thought and how much her cage-like experience has had the effect of clipping her wings. Well done! Debbie

That was chancy doing that. A very nice thing to do, but dangerous for all her family. It is a shame you couldn't have a plant in the big house of ill repute, to stir up revolt. Oh well. you will think of something. I wrote a 50 word poem Juanita. It is funny. Karen

Aww, Noah is the best! That's so thoughtful of him to make sure that Sami has time with her family on Father's Day. Family is important to her and he noted that. But can he handle all that on just one hour of sleep? And I liked how they were able to handle Galvin. Great way for Sami and Noah get closer with a common foe. So smart of Sami to find a way to get that pregnancy test for Sarah!

Suggestion:
"I trust your judgement and were doing what you thought was best."
to
"I trust your judgement as you were doing what you thought was best.

I have to say that was some freaking fantastic dialogue. Both captivating and realistic. In my humble opinion, you are doing a damn fine job here. Damn fine!!!

Galvin seems to be distant from his team, and not very helpful or supportive. The picnic was a good idea to help Sami emotioally, but I hope it won't endanger wither them or Sami. Not sure about her sister going back to the shops. I think that will bring danger. Well written chapter.

Of course Sami had to fit that important mould of being an ardent supporter of her own family, denoting what she would always be when she had her own family, one should always be that way in your stories, it is a great theme and tradition of yours, well done, Barbara, blessings Roy
