Wait he named his own daughter Margaret! Warning Bells on that one! It is sad that after adult Margaret brook his heart once - she is not happy to see him content.

Ah ha, caught you. Smile.. You missed a couple of chapters. Actually, I'm letting the reader decide, but Nathan's mother's middle name is Margaret and that's how he got away with it. But thank you so much for reading this chapter.
Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
I am happy to see the return of Nathan, Grace and Baby Margaret. ( I still don't understand how he could name the baby Margaret, but he did) It may seem, life as usual, but when Margaret shows up, one has to wonder just how long peace will reign? I enjoyed this chapter, as usual.

Thank you, Carolyn I'm glad you hung in there while I was taking a well deserved break from my story. I'm glad you enjoy my characters. I promise to keep them interesting.

You always do, :-)

Hello. Another good chapter. I like the description throughout the piece....Joseph clothing, bacon and eggs, coffee bubbling...I can see and hear things, to feel the scenery around the characters.
This makes the whole much more real.

Thank you so much for reading and noticing what I worked so hard to do and that is to get my readers to see what's in my mind.
Comment from Titanx9
The scheming Margaret is up to no good and will try, I'm sure, to hone in on Grace's territory. I hope Grace has a trick or two up her sleeves. I'm loving the easy relationship she and Nathan has. Great job!

Oh oh, poor Nathan. He's in for a real time of it. Although I figure he will come out of it alright. Wonderful continuity Amahra.

Comment from Antoine Charlemaine
Hello, amahra. This is the first time I have read any of your work, and I am rather delighted. I am coming into this story mid-plot, which is always dangerous, but immediately I have a good feel for the characters in this chapter. I need to go back and read previous posts. Your descriptive prowess brings your characters to live; makes them living, breathing people. For eg.,
'She was a short, bulky woman, with sun-tanned skin and soft blue eyes. She kept her mixed grey and red hair up in a bun. Her worn grey dress was covered with a navy blue waist apron that was streaked with flour.' This is a great cameo.
I enjoyed the way the chapter concluded. The tension is palpable! Trouble is brewing in paradise!
Thanks for a good read. Antoine.
PS I would have given this six stars, but my quota is depleted, alas. Consider yourself six-starred, my friend.

Comment from Writingfundimension
A wonderfully complicated chapter, Amahra. I really admire your ability to evoke such powerful visual imagery with your writing. The details really flesh out the storyline for me. I'm happy that Grace is clueless at this point. Hopefully, her husband can keep his resolve! Most enjoyable.
Warm regards, Bev

Thank you so much Bev. I don't know how you writers on here do it. But writing a book is HARD work. I've learned so much from good writers like you. I really mean that.
-
I'm inspired by good authors like yourself, Amahra. Really, you have a knack for bringing a natural sense to your story - like a person looking at real life. Yes, it is hard work, but the rewards when you get better and people notice is really addicting for me.

It looks like Nate is going to be busy with animals during the day and women at night. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.
