I enjoyed reading your story. It must be hard to write with all you have going on in your life.i will pray for you and your family. Sometimes it's good to process your life experience through writing.
It helps me.

The story moved along nicely. The plot was easy to understand and follow. Good character development.

Well done, my friend.

    Thank you for the kind review. I'm the type who needs to stay busy or I fall apart. My husband needs me to stay together right now.

I am sure it must be difficult to do what you do with the trauma going on in your private life right now. Please know that those who care about you, are with you in spirit and wish the very best for you and your family at this time. May God richly bless you all and give you peace and strengthen you for the ordeal that lies ahead.

    I'm one of those people who need to stay busy because if I don't, I will literally fall apart and won't be any good to anybody. My husband isn't handling this well and I am his sounding board, so I need to keep it together. Thank you for the kind review. Thank you for the badly needed prayers.

Another great chapter. Why is Cord so worried about Ali trusting him? It seems it's asked a lot. You did a wonderful job as always, and I'm ready for more. Have a great Sunday afternoon. Shirley

    Ali struggles trusting me. Now he's giving her something that will make her sleep. Thank you for the kind review.

What a story. I have missed so much that I can not justify speaking about how much I enjoy your writings. Must agree about evil Eddie doing its thing

I glad you could post this before you needed to leave. It sound like your father in law won't last that long. It is too bad they put in the pacemaker because that might make him suffer longer.
I'm glad Cord is with Ali and has medical training. It is apparent they really care about each other. It is amazing how intelligent people can still get caught up in the shame and guilt an abuser heaps on them.

    Thank you for the kind review. The took John off life support around 9:00 last night. During the night, my father-in-law came out of his coma and started talking. My husband is on his way right now.

    Maybe he'll pull through. It is amazing what the body can withstand.

I think it's a good chapter, and the storyline quite clear and runs well. However, I find the dalogue sometimes too constructed and not natural. Also, the story seems to be in the POV of Cordero, but in a couple of instances, it figressed to Bob ( Bob watched as...)
Overall it is a very good chapter

I don't think much of Alan's chances when Cord catches up with him. He's an animal who needs locking up and the keys thrown away. At least being a vet, Cord has some idea of what Ali is suffering from, and the rest will certainly do her good. So many women put up with this, and believe it's their own fault. What is wrong with those types of men? You wrote this very well, Barbara, and it was quite emotional. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xx

    Thank you for the kind review. I have made that correction. The word was there, I honestly don't know what happened to it.

    Lol, I know exactly what you mean. I think there's a real gremlin on this site. xx

Thanks for providing statistics of violence, gender to gender, Barbara, along with abuse to children, these forms of violence are way too common, I abhor violence, always have, even before I was a Christian, although my mother was more likely to be violent, my dad was a gentle guy, but mum provoked him a lot, I hated their fighting too. This was a fictional warning of the frequent use, domestic violence is very high in the indigenous people. Thanks for writing Barbara, blessings Roy

It is difficult to comment on a single chapter of a complex plot and set of characters. The narrative moves at a fast rate and the development of the relationship between Alexandra and Cordero is sesitively handled. I look forward to the next chapter!
