Well done.
The explosion is coming. It's palpable. I just hope Huck (or his mama) think it out carefully. Huck and Miss Lynn had best be thinking about moving out of Mississippi, also, I fear.
Best wishes.

I really don't like that man. What sort of life would Dewey have if Huck wasn't there. The three of them are scared of him, but it's imposible to do anything about it. That Mrs Finley is a mean woman, but it seems a little flattery totally has her flustered. Perhaps that what she needs, someone to be nice to her. Well done again, Gretchen. Love this story!

Living with an abusive Father is not the way to live a good life and these boys will never forget these cruel acts. You captured the hate and sorrow in this family, the fear and the anticipation of this Father's cruelty is felt by all members of this family. Another fine chapter in your story Gretchen and I hope this guy gets his comeuppance eventually, love Dolly x

Some people are impossible to like, dirty minded and graceless, but they are destined for a sticky end, they have no understanding of what kindness is. At least Huck knows instinctively what diplomacy and grace is, he knows how to keep it together, but one day he might snap, well done, gretchen, blessings Roy

    You are so very right. Huck thinks. Which is both good and bad. Thank you so much for this fine review. Gretchen

Very well done. I can feel Huck's frustration and the negative feelings from the nasty lady with the attitude Mrs. Finley. Your characters are strong and well represented. Esther

Ugh, I'd like to take a shovel to the knees of this bastards of a father!

I'm a bit confused... Miss Lynn, how old is she? You said she has children and then that her momma made lemon bars.

Well wriyyen looking forward to more.

    Miss Lynn is probably in her late twenties or early thirties. Her Momma will show up later in the story. Thank you for this. Gretchen

Such a sad chapter. Unfortunately that's what kids have to do, act as if everything is alright. Abused women also. The mean father is pushing those boys to breaking poin. Very well written.

    You are definitely right about that. Most even cover for the abuser. Anything for approval which never comes. Sad situation. Thank you for this. Gretchen

Excellent writing. I could feel the emotion behind every word. I will never understand why some men have to be so mean-spirited. Your writing would be easier for elderly folks if you could use a larger font. Other than that, I have no complaints. The story is nicely written.

    I usually post from my phone so that isn't an option. If you are reading from a computer, my husband said there is a magnifying glass icon and that should make it bigger. I'm sorry. Thank you so much for this kind review. Gretchen
