I like the story line of the novel. It kept me intrigued. However, I want to know more about the husband. Good Luck with your writing. I want to know what is going to happen next.

Comment from Haggard
I liked the ending, ha. Baby's are life-savers I suppose - they're not all that bad after all. Good description, good write. Thanks for the pleasant read.

Thank you for your kind review.
Comment from R. K. Alan
Not sure why the disclaimers, the story flowed beautifully even though romance isn't necessarily my thing. Loved the strong character introductions. You clearly delineated Anna's plight, the trash she's married to and the potential love interest. Nicely done.

Barbara:
You're off to a great start. When a writer feels
compelled to write something, then it is meant to
happen. I am sure you will do just fine. Besides,
we are here to support you.
Thanks for sharing
love,
jan

Thank you for your encouraging words and kind review.
Comment from Belinda
Hi, Barbara. I'm glad I caught this one ... :) Seems like the problem here is universal. Some men are as selfish as Bobby, and others are as sweet as Troy (hopefully). This is an interesting beginning for a novel.

This is a good start for this novel. So far, it has gained and held my interest. I will follow all the way through because I know I won't be disappointed.

*No errors found in mechanics/ syntax/ etc.
* Flow is consistently tense once the husband enters the scene.
* Introduction of Troy early-on lends a bit of joy to the otherwise horrific situation the mom and baby are in.
*Interjecting the idea that she plans on leaving the abusive situation gives credibility to the opening scene in the library.
GOOD JOB ON THE OPENING. td

Wow. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed this. It was honest and well written. No baroque, flowery words, just simple, realistic situations that anyone can relate too. I could feel the drama building, and I could feel the trapped atmosphere that Anna lives in. I sincerely enjoyed this and I hope that I get the opportunity to read more. Well done.

Thank you for the kind review, although I am not sure what to do to fix it to get five stars the next time.
Comment from nora arjuna
You started a new story! I'm amazed at how creative your mind has been - a chain of stories, one after another. This one appears to be of different people. Sounds like interesting.
2 suggestions:
He [set a hand on each side of her waist], then helped her until her feet touched the floor. - nothing wrong here, just that I don't think you need to describe in detail how he does it. Maybe just - 'He gripped her waist' is understood. Now I wonder about the chair he's sitting on. Is it a high one, that her feet don't touch the floor?
She sat in a chair across from him and raised the book, [covering] her face. - try 'to cover', more active this way.
