This well written chapter sounds promising for the whole book. The characters of Sarah and Joe are well contoured, the dialogues flow naturally. We have everything here: war, families, children and relationships. We still do not know who is Cassie's father and why is Sarah a single mother but this will be later revealed. For the time being the chapter ends with a promising date.

Finally, A book that I get to catch from the beginning. I loved the way the detail put me in the book and made me feel like a silent character. Great job and I'm looking forward to chapter 2!!!

this is very well written with good form good flow, good storyline, i enjoyed reaading it and seeing the nuances of hometown life, where people can hold things against you for a long time. i wanted to slap my cousin's date at the reunion because she wouldn't stay out of my face. i just visioned throwing her in the pool.

I thought this was a great beginning to the story. It introduces the characters well, even if it does seem to progress a little too quick with Sara and Joe.

Just wait, they take their time. There's too much at stake. Thank you for your kind review.
Comment from Roberta Joan Jensen
He watched the rectangular[no comma] picture window
Joe walked across the yard and stood beside [to] the ladder. "Maybe I can get it."
forced the shutter lo[o]se,
as she a[d]verted her eyes
Excellent beginning. Has caught my interest to see what comes next.
By the way, did you write a book about Matt and Dani and, if so, is it still available?

Yes, I wrote about Matt and Dani and it's in my portfolio. Her Pretty Little Neck.
Thank you for your kind review.

Hello barbara.
I'm happy to see this posted so quickly. The setting and the characters are not the usual jet type set, and I like that. Then there is the suspense about Cassie's father. This promises to be an outstanding read.
Fondly, Rebecca

Joe Barnes is visiting his home. There he sees Sara, a girl he knew from school. He ends up escorting her to her reunion. She tries to discourage him by telling him that she is a fallen woman. He still wants to escort her to her reunion. This sounds like a start to a good story.

Hi barbara,
I am so glad I caught this on the first chapter. It held my interest from start to finish and has a smooth flow. The dialogue is excellent and I saw no spag. I especially enjoyed the part where Joe immediately approaches Sara and decides to take her to the school reunion. Can't wait to read more so I am off to make you a fan so that I won't miss any of your writing. Thank you for sharing.

Barbara, I think you're off to a good start on this one, but one paragraph bothers me. I never saw a baseball cap with bright blue eyes and I didn't know that dimples could run. You might want to look at that para. again and get the modifier in the right place and maybe get a comma with the dimples or re-work those spots. Otherwise, it's good to go.
(It's the para that begins "A teenage girl with a brunette...")
