Yes, times sure have changed. And not for the better in many ways other than all the advanced technologies, which makes it nice to venture back in time with your story. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Ric, Thanks for stopping by to read and review the first chapter of this novel. We're glad you enjoyed it! Yes, times have changed. However, it's great that through writing and reading, we can still go back to the good ol' days! Sorry for the delay in responding. We're busy preparing our first co-authored novel for publication this month. Lots of work, but worth it. HURRAH! We've already written Chapter 2 of Moonshine and Muscadine Wine and will post it as soon as we can. Wishing you all the best. Take care and God bless.

What a charming story! The dialogue is perfect. I felt as though I was eavesdropping on a private conversation. And there is just enough description of the beautiful scenery to make me see and experience the story. Well done.

I love how this started, way back in early school years. Now Elsie Mae is sixteen, and Lester wants to marry her before going off to war. From the invite, it seems that Elie's dad has already decided when he asked him to come for dinner. I look forward to the next part. Well done, Cathy. :) Sandra xx

You two wrote a good chapter. I like the narration and I love what papa had to say to him. Going off to war, does make a man want to snatch up a girl for two reasons: to keep her from other men, and to have someone to live for.

A very good piece.

Sounds like such simpler, better times back then. This is a really good chapter. I like your chacters they seem like people you want to get to know. Has a good pace to it that makes an interesting read. Looking forward to future chapters.
