I love the adventure you make it! Gemma makes such a good mom for her kids! I'm glad they found somewhere to rest their heads, and I'm hoping that their trespassing won't be noticed. Excellent chapter, as always!

Sorry it has been so long.

A sweet chapter. Garner is just adorable.

Really sad though, but i am sure that Conner has a pivitol place in the up and coming chapters!

I love the prayer at the end. So simple and sweet. Also the words at the beginning. Beautiful. Keep writing!

This is good. Not so many spiritual works on here, and fewer still are historically inclined, so props for that. :)

Edith certainly is a bitter (old) woman. I can understand her sorrow, but that's no excuse, really. I'm wondering if she's a Christian.

Poor Gemma, turned out on the streets. At least now she has employment, though I'm sure that won't turn out so well. The children are adorable.



This story is set in early/mid '90s, correct? It doesn't really seem historical. The prologue almost seems as though it were part of another story, because it's rather modern, in my opinion, and the writing is different from the rest. That said, I like your writing style; everything flows nicely. The first paragraph here, though, is ginormous, so maybe split it a bit. It'll be easier on the eyes.

All in all, I'm quite enjoying this story, so keep up the good work. :)

Until next time,

Selarose

Always, always, always go with your gut instinct. But desperate times call for desperate measures. I have a feeling she'll regret working for him. I hope nothing serious happens to her.

If I could reach through this screen and that phone line, I'd ring her mother-in-law's neck. What a bleep. I must be just an idealist and optimist, because I am still amazed that there are people out there who have nothing but bad manners and attitudes. I don't see how they enjoy anything with such negativity.

I hope this job with Mr. Stirling gives her a little time in order to find something better for herself and children.

You're a wonderful writer! More soon!

So I for real dislike John's mother...how in the world could she be so cruel! To her grandkids no less! I honestly don't think my grandmother would ever turn us away, even if she did dislike the person her daughters married. It's just...so, unfeeling! She really irritates me...a lot. And, I'm certainly not sure I trust this Mr. Sterling fellow... You've definitely given us some folks to look out for. Hopefully Gemma will be able to keep her head held high and provide for her family without terrible things happening. She has been through enough as it is..in my opinion! Excellent chapter!

another great chapter. I love the detail and the way it makes you feel her pain.

Hiya

wow, i was wondering how you were doing and if you were writing again. Somewhere along the way i lost the alerts to your profile so i didn't see that you've started writing again until now.

Like this chapter very to the point but i love your writing style anyway. Keep updating.
