This is another good chapter and is very well written. The only thing I wondered about was Anna's sensitively to loud mufflers since it was mentioned numerous times.

Overall, good job. JW

    Bobby owned a truck with a loud muffler. It was mentioned in the first chapter and it will become important as the story ends.
    Thank you for the kind review.

To write of such a despicable act as domestic abuse is not an easy thing to do, you are to be applauded for doing so.

To start over takes all of one's strengths to do so, I hope this ends, how shell I say... realistically. Will endeavour to read more

the story is moving along fine. you might want to touch a little more deeply on what Anna or Troy are thinking or feeling about this whole situation. tho draw in the readers emotions. to give your reader an investment in the story,
all in all a solid five

This is my second read of your story and I get a little upset as it brings back some bad memories. Long story short my mother, older sister and myself add a real rough first seven years

Another great chapter in your romance book. This is about Anna is able to make decisions about where to eat and then asks Troy to kiss her. She has decided on where she wants the painting and she's willing to leave Michael in someone else's care. Great artwork. Congratulation!

Loved this chapter, especially the ending when I began wondering why he didn't kiss her automatically. Is he trustworthy? mmm As a former victim of domestic violence, I can relate to the difficulty that Anna has when making choices. My instinct tells me that Troy also is not a good choice for Anna! Well written and no SPAGS that I can see.

Wonderful writing. Good pace. Kept my interest. I do have a couple of suggestions.

"She does do good work." This was a bit awkward to read for me. Maybe just, "She does good work."

"Aunt Margaret and she will just watch him all day." Maybe take a look at this sentence. The flow of reading would work better if you can restructure this.

Great job!

Lisa

Hi Barbara,

The dialogues in this chapter are good, and your characters seem to have settled into a pattern. One suggestions, you open with -

Early Sunday morning, Anna took a bite of toast. "Yesterday, we only got the laundry done and that's not put away.

I suggest that the "Early Sunday morning ..." is superfluous. You could start by saying, "At the breakfast table, Anna bit into her toast just as the local church began it's recorded bells. "Yesterday we got ..."

It 'paints' a scene rather than 'tells' it ...

Patrick
