This was a great read from beginning to end, as usual.It is very believable about the underground railroad for abused women and their children.

I was hoping it was Anna that Margaret had with her. Looks like things are looking up for her ...except we don't know what Bobby may have up his sleeve. Great chapter. As usual, I enjoyed reading and reviewing.

Barbara - my only complaint was the brevity. I really get into your stories, so could have gladly read more. I don't open my checkbook to many things, but two here locally are a home for battered women and one for wounded warriors. Well written and edited. Warm regards, Bill

A well written segment, explaining the underground network for abused women. The behaviors described in your notes are all part of the classic brainwashing process. Well done, Barbara. :) Nancy

It is ovvious that you really understand the characters you have created. I believe that dialogue is the best way to define the characters; and as you know , it is difficult to write. The dialoge carries this story. Well done. Thanks for the author notes. Jeffrey

This was a very good piece to review. It shows all the concerns involved in abuse for anyone but especially women. I watched my Mom go through a somewhat abusive relationship with my Dad. God Bless you for bringing this issue to the forefront.

No SPAG noted. So Aunt Margaret got to know Anna by coincidence. These abused women have to be moved constantly for fear of being tracked down. The story is moving - the husband will be let out soon. They don't have much time for their next steps.

Troy grabbed her arm, hurried her into the lobby, and hugged her.
He took her hand in his and caressed it with his thumb.
I know Troy cares about Anna and there's a growing romantic interest and concern, but I am a bit unsure whether he would take such intimate actions like caressing her hand at this point in the story. Just thought I would let you know.

Another good chapter, Barbara. I really like the last paragraph, where Troy left the message for his dad. This chapter is well written and well edited.
