I always give six stars on the last chapter of a book I've enjoyed. You know how many stars we get. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Wow, what and ending:" It was not to be. She looked at Ben Paul a final time before getting up to do the things that must be done, the phone calls, the arrangements. She saw a figure at Ben Paul's side, a young man in his prime: Ben Persons. Sylvia knew that her Ben Paul was being taken to meet Jesus by his father, a man he'd never met, but had lived the same calling." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Wendy G
What a moving ending. He knew, and she knew, that the time had arrived, and they were able to share their love beautifully together. A nice touch for his father to meet him. Well written throughout. And congratulations on both books and their interweaving stories.

Lovely ending to a wonderful story. I have really enjoyed both books about Ben persons and Ben Paul Persons. Both were heroes in their own ways and blessed with the calling of a God who helped them throughout their lives.

I've very much enjoyed this multi-generational saga, I guess you could call it, Wayne. You've peopled them with some unforgettable characters who have been most enjoyable to watch develop. You've also had some great villains in the mix to help showcase how truly good and brave your characters were in taking them on. And always with the theme of a calling to seek God and to do his bidding.
The stories have been interesting and have presented some great history lessons as well. I've enjoyed the Gumpian encounters with important figures of the time and learning about people and places I've had little familiarity with in the past.
I've also learned from your writing style to try to be briefer in my own writing. Whether or not I've succeeded yet, because it's an ongoing process, I'm definitely more aware of it and try to get to the point quicker than I have in the past.
Thanks for an entertaining few stories, Wayne. Do you have something else in mind currently?

Thank you immensely for your very encouraging review.
Yes, I'm finishing a 45K word piece right now. the first chapter is in a contest that has been extended a couple times already, so I have to hush about it.

Wayne,
What a great book. I have enjoyed it very much. It is sad that he had to pass away, but all will be there some day. It's a nice way to end your book.
Well done

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
This chapter carries such emotions. The way Sylvia and Ben Paul talk about his father's journey I think adds to their relationship. And that ending - heartbreaking. Sylvia's love shine through. I felt that the loss was part of something greater. Truly moving writing!

I could feel your emotions in your character's dialogue in this chapter, particularly in Sylvia's voice when she yearned to leave this earth and be in Heaven. The dialogue flowed really well and felt natural. I really enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Ditch the closed quote at the end of the opening line.
Perhaps I missed something because I didn't understand the opening scene in the airport. What was the reason for it, to get them to drive back home? And they were going to minister to people in need, but then went to the car instead.
It was sad having Sylvia say goodbye to Ben Paul. He certainly had a good life, and they had a few really good years together.
Anyway, it's been another successful book that you've shared with us, Wayne. It will be interesting to see what you come up with next.
Have a great week.

Thank you for the six stars!
And for the helps. You've been great to help with the work.
The airport scene is a repeat of their initial flying in to Juneau when the same emergency message was broadcast. That time they ministered to a couple. This time, there was no one hurting. So they just left. I'll have to touch it up.
