I am caught up with my reviews with you for now. Lots more to do though. If guys weren't raised to beleive that they are entitled to sex any time they want it with whomwever they want it with there would not be so much rape, and coerced sex. Not to mention early pregnancy. Good writing. Karen

This is another excellent chapter. You moved the story along nicely. I do not see any room for improvement. The picture yo8u chose matches the chapter.

As far as I can tell you have no errors in your writing, but then I was so engrossed I couldn't slow down reading. You set up Amy's situation brilliantly so that the reader could never doubt how the world has abused her, all because of Pat. Can hardly wait to see how Alex wins this one.

This is another well-written and a little disturbing chapter, Barbara. I like the fact Alexandra is trying to help all these women who were raped by Pat Rogers. I think she might be needed to stay in this town. :)

One suggestion is instead of stated "a nine-year old boy" put the information into some context, such as when his mother introduces him, or one of them ask him how old he is. In other words, show, don't tell.

One little typo:
"It appears to be heading (in) that direction."

This is a very good chapter that you wrote. It has such empathy and comfort within. Cord does sound like quite a gentleman. He gets involved in Alexandra's concerns and watches out for her.

As always the dialogue is lively, and the theme comes across through it, and that puts us in the middle of the conflicts and the struggles, trying to sift through the morals. You lay out your case here through the quiet lawyer as she seeks to right the wrongs and the injustices of the world. estory

What a sad tale. Pat Rogers is a scum bag character. You are doing such a great job, and I'm always ready for more. My impatience is winning out right now. Enjoy your afternoon. Shirley

I'm sure there are more situations of rape and serial rape than any of us could ever imagine, but hopefully, your story and others will give those who read about them the strength to stand up and speak out. Thanks for sharing.

Well, he clearly deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail, although if that happened, I'd worry about the financial restitution, as he wouldn't be able to make child support payments - a bit of a conundrum! I only saw one comma note in here, and it was a very well written chapter. I liked how naturally the two of them are getting closer.

Spag note:

'Just so you know he raped you.' - needs a comma after 'know'

Rape is such a horrible crime. It's sickening what people, particullay women, of this terrible crime have to face. The artwork you chose was interesting and quite appropriate.
