Hi, again Barbara. I enjoyed the chapter. It's great that they are helping Anna and giving her friendship. All this must feel strange to her after coming from an abusive relationship.
Have a good time with your grandchildren. August 8th is awfully early for school to start. April

Comment from Dave M
Barbara,
Troy has a quick mind, and I wouldn't call your Brian a "struggling" artist. That painting is excellent, and it fits the chapter perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and the made-up "Indian legend," and I couldn't find anything to criticize.
Enjoy your trip. It seems awefully early for school to start, but our schools will open in early August, also.

This shows Troy's creative side and indicate the impression he is making on Anna. Your post is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Hi Barbara,
This is a beautiful chapter and I hope Anna knows how much Troy really loves and admires her. I keep wanting him to take her in his arms and say that....but then I am a hopeless romantic. I loved the stories about the flower both of them are beautiful. Have fun on your trip, you will be missed and have to play catch up when you get back! Blessings, chey

I want Troy to do the same thing, but he can't. It's too dangerous for Anna and with the abuse she's suffered, it might scare her. He's very wise. I appreciate your kind review.

barbara.wilkey,
I like the way you chose to weave folklore into this story and the way you keep the story focused on the theme of finding a way out of an abusive marriage. Well done.

Hello, Barbara.
That Indian Blanket metaphor is so brilliant. What flowers are these that I never heard of before? Troy is a kind man, as you write him. You continue to teach. Warmly, Rebecca

I will start out at Fort Campbell, KY, then on to Missouri, close to Columbia, then over to Kansas City. Nothing fancy. Thank you for the kind review.

I liked this 'chapter' Barbara, with its relation of the Indian Blanket legend.
I think I've found a rare typo for you - may be the first I've seen in your work:
'A grin erupted cross Troy's lips' --> across
Keep going with the informative author's notes - even if they only give help to one person, they will have been worth it!

I love this story. I love Indian blankets. I had never heard of either of these stories. I know this is a chapter on abused women but this was a nice change.

Comment from adewpearl
I love the conversation between Troy and Anna and the "legend" he tells her, which applies so well to her situation and her personality. I also like her inner thoughts where she wonders if she is capable of being all he sees in her.
Mom, how close is Dad to starting the chops? - capitalize Dad
I really love them as a couple :-) Brooke

Thank you for the kind review. I will capitalize Dad. I hate it when I make those first grade mistakes. My little ones know better than that. I appreciate your kind review.

Your little ones only know what you've taught them :-)

Very true. By the end of first grade they are expected, not my rule TX standard, but they are expected to write a paraqraph.
