Sounds like things are going well for Anna right now. Maybe that will last. Excellent chapter and it had a wonderful flow to it.

Comment from Cheryl Daphine
Very good chapter. But I like Anna [I'm sure] can't quite relax yet. I'm sure the creep won't just exit the scene. A very enjoyable read and informative story and notes. Well done Barbara.

I enjoyed reading this chapter Barbara, I thought it was cleverly written and well thought out. I look forward to reading the next one. I hope it works out for Anna, she is lucky to have made such good friends.

This is a very good story line. It is a nice presentation. I know you are making a message here about abuse and I for one am all for that kind of message. It is so bad for so many.

Comment from writerwish
Keep going, this story continues to hold interest, in fact I think even more so. Paul and Betty are becoming more real too. The author notes have a few errors. I'm sure you'll find them if you carefully read it over.
Like: show little concern about whether you want(s) to have sex...
rigid rules about how they get act?

I copied and pasted the author's notes from an abuse site. I guess their grammar isn't that good. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi Barbara:)
This is a great chapter. As usual, your dialog and and the actions of your characteristic are natural. You do an excellent job of maintaining individual actions and mannerism. This makes it easy to visualise each scene.
Anna is a mental mess. She has never had to fend for herself and her parents gave her no support once she got pregnant and then married Bobby. Both her family's and Bobbie's abusive action kept her from developing self-esteem and by extension self-reliance.
I'm not surprised that Troy's family took her under their protective wings. Anna was like a fish out of water and the two women needed someone to mother. Paul also was ready to feel useful one more time. It would be natural for them to help a damsel in distress. Obviously money was no concern for Troy and his successful family.
I am certainly ready to see how Bobbie is handled in court, but when he gets out and drinks he will have no respect for restraining orders. I look forward to finding out how he is handled then.
I found no nits, but I noticed that one reviewer questioned ice tea/iced tea. Both are considered correct, although the British seem to have a slight preference for iced tea.
Love and Irish hugs for a great story,
Roger

Although I live in TX, I am orginally from the north. I appreciate your comment on ice tea. I haven't found it in writing, yet, which is correct. I have a feeling you are correct, both are acceptable. I appreciate your kind review and support.

Both are used in dictionaries. In oxford iced tea is listed first. In Merriam Webster ice tea is listed first.

I use Merrian Webster so it's settled. Thank you.

As usual, your writing is direct, spelling and grammar faultless and your use of dialogue carries the story forward.
I try to put myself in Anna's shoes and imagine that she must be almost bewildered by the normal, decent, caring behaviour ot this family she has fallen in with if all she has to compare it to is her abusive marriage and possibly a rather strict ubbringing.
