I was most intrigued by the sketching. It made me wonder how accurate I could be if I had to describe someone in my life (never mind the fact that my memory is getting so bad..lol) Can't wait to find out where she is.

I have read several other chapters in your book, and while this is not my normal reading material, I love how well you have developed your characters. Your dialogs flows so naturally and everything runs so smoothly together. You are truly a gifted writer. Best wishes and I can't wait to read more.

Another good write here Barbara.
The story is now really taking shape and I think they must not let that horrible husband come near Anna once they find her.
Well done once again and thank you for sharing.
We hope you are getting better now.
Cheers

I was reading your reviews. A minute few are still giving nasty reviews believing they know it all about anything written. I think you did and excellent job. You show and don't tell. Your great dialogue and descriptive scheme drove the story along. I'm glad Troy's aunt was able to draw Anna's likeness. At least Troy remembered the freckles across Anna's nose. I look forward to reading your next chapter. Have a blessed day, my friend. I'm praying for you to rid your body of cancer. Love ya, Melissa.

PS: I like your details you wrote in this chapter, such as; flowered bag, bangs went behind her right ear, hair like honey, yum peach pie with vanilla  ice cream and Aunt Margaret's talking about Troy and Anna getting together-- Troy was right when he told her;"  don't put the cart before the horse."

    Thank you for your kind review. I tried to gently let that person that I disagreed and they basically said I didn't want to listen and only wrote to get praise from FS reviewers. Thank you for your support.

Interesting how a piece about something so ordinary can be so enthralling. I have no ammendments, the piece works. The basic descriptive language used for the characters really complimented the extended descriptive comments used for the subject of the drawing. I don't know if that was intentional, just something I was aware of.

This is another very cleverly written chapter Barbara. I enjoyed reading and it was very well thought out. I look forward to seeing if they find Anna.

This Part Three of chapter 5 was very interesting to read about Troy over at his parents house describing Anna, along with his dad, to his Aunt Margaret for her to sketch for them.

This chapter seems to be about the sketch and each person's reaction to it. Troy has shown how involved he has become with Anna. Aunt Margaret seems to think that Troy is very serious about Anna.

    I think Aunt Margaret is correct. Thank you for the kind review.

Barbara, I think it would be so hard to describe someone for a picture like that, even if you know them very well. Just think how hard it must be for new acquaintances, or a stranger who you have to describe. But, in this scenario, hope it helps them find her. Good job as always.

A good chapter. Margaret must be some artist to get the sketch right so quickly from witnesses who know Anna so slightly and under difficult physical circumstances. :D Good job, Barbara. :) Nancy
