barbara:
Another wonderful chapter. It is so important to
showcase a woman who is being successful in her
desire to get away from her abuser and does not have
to cheaper herself further to do so.
I look forward to your next chapter.
love,

Anna with the help of Troy and other people is learning to become ore confident in her abilities. It is a long and painful process. I like the story that Troy told her about the Indian maiden.

I've been so behind on my reading and reviewing, I've missed a lot. I hope as I go, I will catch up on what happened and how Anna and Michael arrived at this home. The story is going well. I see she is getting back her self confidence. Going very well.

Comment from SWANNY
Good chapter.
The only suggestion I have is with the following sentence:
"Growing up I helped Mom with her flower garden, she would tell me each flower's story."
To me this seems like two thoughts and so I would suggest either replacing the comma with the word 'and', or maybe make it two sentences. Or maybe reword it slightly to something like this:
When I was growing up, I would help Mom with her flower garden and she would tell me each flower's story.
Anyhow, just something to think about.

She begins to open up. I loved the story of the 'blanket flower'. I have never heard that before. I planted some of them this year in one of my beds. This story is going great,I hope this is not the end. Have a wonderful time with your family. I would miss my grandbabies terribly.Very good chapter.

Hello and good morning, Barbara. You did a fabulous job on this addition to the story. Glad to learn Anna is doing well. I could not find one flaw in this great addition to your manuscript. If I had six stars you would get it for this one. Keep up the great writing...Tim

A well deserved bit of peace for Anna after all the trauma she's been through. This will all change I'm sure once Bobby is released from jail.
Enjoy your break and stay well. =D

Written in this format, it seems as if Troy was waiting for Anna to blush before he continued. Consider this presentation.
.."I bet she looked a lot like you."
( new paragraph ) Anna blushed.
(new paragraph) "This beautiful maiden..."
Can I really make decisions and take care of my son and myself?
This is Anna's thoughts. I think she would use "Michael" instead of "my son".

Hi barb, hope you're enjoying your trip. Nothing much to crit on this chapter. Just check these:
"Anytime you need something[,] call. I'm serious."
"Thank you." She bent [down], picked a flower, - we only bend down. So the word's not needed.
Troy shrugged [his shoulders]. - same here. :)
