Hullo Barbara ....
Now that you story has ended, I will miss reading chapter after chapter as they arrived. This one is generally well written and there are just a few small changes to recommend ...
* You have - You can leave if you want, but I'm staying ... I suggest - if you want to ....
* You have - God fearing people ... I suggest -
God-fearing people ....
* You have - to say blessing again ... I suggest - to say the blessing again ....
* You have - in the name of Jesus Christ, your son ... I suggest - in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son ...
(the capital letters are used as a mark of respect.)
Thank you for sharing this story with us.
Love from .... Nanette Mary.

Hi, Barb, congrats on finishing another story. And I see you already have a new one in line. To be constantly inspired is so nice.
Check some suggestions:
"Abner!" Louise [raised her voice and] set down her fork. - those in brackets aren't needed as it's already denoted by the exclamation mark.
"Sir, I resent the implications." Troy glared at Anna's father. - I thought it'd be appropriate to place the speech later:
Troy glared at Anna's father. "Sir, I resent the implications."
"I haven't heard either of you deny it." [Abner set down his fork]. - try a different act, [similar to Louise's] or add the word 'too'.
"I've never been talked to like this." - not clear who's saying this.

Congratulations on getting to the end (and with such a satisfying conclusion!)
I have enjoyed reading this, although I have had minor criticisms at time.
Best of luck with the new project.

What does one say to such a professional writer. Your characters are superb, your dialogue is precise and you always have a story that reads as credible.
Your ability to build tension between characters serves as a lesson to other writers.
Good luck with Savannah Love

Savannah love is a new stretch for me. We'll see if I can pull it off. Thank you for the kind review and encouraging words.
Comment from abbasjoy
I love the fact that Anna finally stood up to her father. He is so "holier than thou" and judgmental, when Troy and Anna's relationship was nothing but above board.
I am also glad that her father came to recognize the truth about his treatment of Anna which pushed her towards Bobby.
The conversation flows extremely well between all the characters and it's great that Anna didn't want to just rush into a relationship with Troy, but wants to take the time to heal not just physically but emotionally as well.
Great chapter!

I think you did a great job with the scene at the table. It was very realistic dialogue and action. I really didn't think Abner could change his perspective, and was surprised when he did. His coming back to the table and saying grace again showed him to be a more multifaceted character than I expected. Good job.

Comment from RazberryBullet
Finally!--A few moments passed before Abner stood and put his arms around his daughter. "You'll always be my little girl. I've made mistakes too. We'll work this out." "I love you, Daddy." "I love you too."
A happy ending all around :)
Well done!

Comment from Gooloom
Yes i have been reading off and on many of your chapters and have found them interesting and absorbing too. Good you have given your book a happy ending and united the family again. Inthese days it is surprising that there are still people who are judgemental and behave like they only know what is wrong or right. Good that your heroine stood up to her dad and started to live life on her terms. Well written and you are good really good. Gooloom

What a lovely ending, Barbara...

accusations, but all ended well...
under one roof and (at)one table
Christ, your son.(Amen.)"

This six is for all your chapters.
