I can understand Anna's hesitation and determination. Not only will the house bring back the horror she lived, but closing the door on even a bad part of your life takes a lot of will. I can't believe how involved you have me in this story. Very talented writer.

You kept us wondering what's going to happen next. That's awesome. In my last comment I wondering if someone would take away Anna's growing confidence. I hoped not, but I'm wondering if Bobby's attorney would be the person to do it. As always, I'm looking forward to reading more. Great job!

"Troy was the only person who knew about it." Her eyes met Paul's. "{But] I didn't tell him[] either]. I reached for a book and my sweater sleeve rose. He saw the bruises and wanted details. You know the rest."

This was a very good chapter. Very well written and believable. I could connect with your characters instantly. I could not find any mistakes or grammatical errors. I'm looking forward to reading more.

It continues to be believable, but more inportantly, absorbing. The characters are clear by what they do and how they react. Good luck as you continue. Larry

    I want to make it realistic with the daily stuff, but not boring, so I try to highlight it. Thank you for your kind review.

This was very well written. I mean the dialogue came so natural and in narrative you didn't stretch for descriptions. You used what was right there in front of you and this made the whole piece a slice of real life. I can really smell those biscuits and taste the jam and butter on them. Nice job.

    Thank you for the kind review. I needed this review. Someone gave me a four stating I needed to describe the weather. I see no reason to discuss the weather. Your review confirmed my belief.

    Elmore Leonard in a book of his about writing said never mention weather.

Wonderful story.

Love cannot be bought or sold, and a person's emotions cannot be put on hold, people are not cattle, not chattel, and cannot be owned.

A beating has a predetermined fate:
It cannot produce Love, only hate, and so the circle of abuse must be broken, a beating is not Love, it is a token, of the control inflicted, of the freedoms always restricted, by someone who seeks to know why you avoid his greeting, disregarding the former beating.

Young women need the support of parents, friends, relatives, and the law to protect them from domestic violence they often face in a relationship where the aggressor is often fighting his own demons, but retaliates against his girlfriend or wife; collateral damage, for he cannot overcome his own demons; get away, make him stay away, or have the law put him away.

Lucky Anna to have so much support; I ran from my apartment in the middle of the night with my two children and left everything. I couldn't live alone, because he would find me and break in. Back then, even the police was no help unless he hurt you. But, I'm glad she's moving on and has a friend like Paul. I hope she's safe in her new apartment.
