Aww. You're making sure that Garth and Rebecca don't feel left out in the romance department. It sounds like they are falling for each other. It was perfect that Rebecca shared her news with Jenna and Eleanor. Who else could share about how good adoption is? Fun chapter!

    Yes, poor Garth needs to move forward with his life though I don't thik this will be as easy as one would hope. And I hoped the connection between the three women would solidify the feelings of adoption and giving up a child as well.

    Thanks so much, Helen. I appreciate you as always.

Sounds like Garth and Rebecca would be a good match. Now Matthew needs to return to health and make amends with Jenna. And they all need to keep themselves safe from Doyle! Fine writing.

    I am afraid Doyle's threatening arms reach farther into the outside world than any of them are aware of. And Rebecca is learning about a whole new world which might make a difference to her relationship to Garth. Thank you for the comments and the review. Fingers crossed!

This is a great chapter, but I can't give you all my sixes. Rebecca is a special person but sounds too much like Garth's dead wife. I hope he doesn't become too fixated on her as his wife's clone. She is a special person and sounds like an exciting addition to your story line. One thing I think you might consider: the word smirk. It isn't just a smile. It often means someone who thinks they are putting something on over another person. Rebecca should smile, not sound sly. Smiles can even twinkle.

    Aww...come on, pretty please! Just kidding, of course. I am appreciative of the fact that you enjoyed it enough to think it deserved a six. i will go back and check your suggestion. I had a 'smirky" attitude and I might have passed it on to Rebecca. LOL Thanks as always.

I was thinking along the lines of Garth's question: 'It's not a hoax, is it?' I hope it's not because Rebecca seems to need some good news. I do hope Jenna gets to a doctor soon. Interesting interplay between Garth and Rebecca. Great chapter. I'm glad Matthew seems like he's starting to recover. Hugs & smiles! Carol

    Thanks so much for enjoying the chapter. I gave you a lot to think about, didn't I? Maybe you'll discover an answer or two in the next chapter...or find I've dug us in deeper. LOL Appreciate you all the time.

    I forgot to mention one thing. Rebecca says, "___ and Lucille are my adopted parents." It should be (adoptive), since they adopted her. Have a blessed night.

I enjoy the gentle way you introduce and describe the feelings and actions of two people developing unexpected feelings for one another. I'm going to sit back and let Garth sort out his possible feelings for Rebecca. I'm also looking forward to Rebecca's history unfolding. The thing that makes your novels so intriguing is the fact you keep your stories moving with suspense and well developed characters...characters we get to know and understand.

Carol,

This is an awesome chapter. I am really enjoying this book. Me wonders if Miriam isn't Rebecca's sister. It make a girl go hmm. You have this book wrapped in mystery. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

Funny story. So another author on here ask me to read his finished draft and I told him yes. So, funny thing is some of his mobster characters are named Giordano. Must be a popular Italian name. I just found the coincidence funny and wanted to share with you.

Great job and keep them coming. I'm sitting on the edge.

Cecilia

    Really! I was thinking of an Italian name and an advertisement for Giordano's pizza came up and thus the name went into print. LOL Thanks for enjoying another chapter. If I don't get through these reviews and start reading, I'm never going to get back to posting and writing. A never ending circle. Thanks for always being my supporter.

This is a fantastic read. The way you've shared Rebecca's discovery of her adoption left me eager to find out the secrets of her past. Her emotional turmoil is so relatable. You've skillfully shown Garth's internal conflict as well. Very enjoyable!

    Thanks, Michael. Exactly what I needed to hear. This story has a lot going on and sometimes I fear I don't deliver all the emotions the way they should be felt. You certainly made me feel much better.

It's always confusing when you start a book in chapter 9. Thank you so much for the character description at the end. Your writing is captivating and drew me into the story. I wanted to know more about Miriam and Donatelli.
I look forward to the next chapter. gayla

    A quick synopsis would be....Judge John Doyle was sentenced to prison when Eleanor, Donatelli and Garth caught him in some terrible crimes. His parole has been denied and he is determined they will pay. Even behind bars, his wealth, connections and evil mind get him anything he wants. Eleanor's sister's car (Margaret) was run off the road and she died. Jenna was raped and Donatelli was set up at a bar, beaten and left for dead in a ditch. Miriam is a ghost who is caught in limbo and she has saved Donatelli who doesn't remember a thing at the moment. That's about what has happened so far and I hope it helps. I look forward to you enjoying more chapters. Thank you so much.

Was Allie Rebecca's twin? I am betting so. Thank you for sharing this installment with us. I am also betting this land is the same vineyard where Matthew is at.

Rebecca took a deep breath before answering. "Not bad, I suppose, (answering,)
