Premise is solid, plot continues cleanly along logical course, form is good. The words are well placed and easy to understand, and the characters are developing nicely.

It's so obvious Troy loves Anna, and can take the teasing. Aunt Margaret drew a good sketch of Anna. I hope she is found soon. The suspense continues to build up, as I wonder about Anna. Great writing.

After dinner(,) Margaret removed her sketchpad and charcoal pencils from a large(,) flowered bag

    part is American, but I will take care of those other commas. I really hate commas. I appreciate your eagle eye.

So, I guess that with Anna in hiding and everyone at this household ready to do their part, The pictures will be distributed and the search continues. Keep it coming.

It is very encouraging to know that Troy and his family are highly invested in finding Anna and her son. Not too many people would extend such efforts.

    That's true, but remember domestic violence has personally effected Troy. His step-father killed his mother. I appreciate your kind review.

Great job and as always I enjoyed reading your writing. I can see the romance starting with Anne if Troy finds her and I'm sure he will.

Barbara - you're dialog and narrative read so smoothly. You've always managed to "hook" me into your stories. You also know how to end each piece with anticipation till the next. Nicely written and edited. Bill

Great use of dialogue - I love how the men quibble over little differences in the way Anna looks. I also love the way Paul and Margaret notice the love in Troy's descriptions. :-) He wears his heart on his sleeve, for sure. Brooke

Good, smooth flow. Holds the reader's attention all through. Further, as a snippet out of a story, is more than able, within a very limited cut, to give some idea of the overall direction and context of the whole work too. In that sense, representative selection.
Good command over style - light, attractive.
Thanks

Love the way you built the picture, it's so unusual to be reading a book and visualising a main character.

A tiny typo in this line "How would you describe it?(("?)) Margaret glanced toward Paul.

Still enjoying the read, still looking forward to more.
