I very much enjoyed this story, Krystyna! Your beginning was charming and reminded me a lot of some of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s characters in her “Anne” series.

I also loved seeing Ben’s relationship with his two little boys.

The middle took a quite a twist and added a certain amount of tension and desperation to the story.

In the end a very satisfying conclusion that leaves me wanting to continue following along on their journey. Thank you so much for this excellent story :0)

Author’s Response: Hi Bahj, sorry to be so long in responding to your review, but what with the operation and aftermath I’ve not been around much. I was more than pleased to see your review of this story, thankyou so very very much. I loved writing it, it was such fun and adding the few twists into the story…perhaps it could have been a little longer but all in all, just glad you enjoyed it. I was thrilled to see the ref to L.M.Montgomery, a favourite in our household. Thank you again. Krystyna

Toothsome little mystery story with a charming portrait of Adam at an age we seldom get to see, and Ben when he can still cut a swath through the younger set! Krystyna’s trademark sharp characterization is in evidence throughout and the surprise resolution is handled very well. Thank you so much!

Author’s Response: Thank you, sklamb, what a lovely compliment you have given me and how much I appreciate it, thank you. I enjoyed writing this story prequels bring their special delights … thank you again.

WOW. Very, very well written story. Two things showed up in your story we only imagined when we saw Adam in the show; first that he was a very bright child and second that he has a hard and dangerouse live. This was engraved in his soul and made him the person we could see.

Also it was brilliant how you described the way a rumor makes it’s way through the life of people. A lesser  reflective child like Adam could have been broken with them. Thanx for sharing. JoeC

Author’s Response: A pleasure, JoeC, and I am just so glad you could see this in the story how Adam developed in his youth. Just loved your review, thanks so very much. Krystyna

Nice story, Krystyna.  I don’t think I’ve ever read a story that picks up the saga after Ash Hollow before Mormon Station.  I think you captured the idiosyncrasies of small town life and small minds in a very creative manner at the opening.

 

Author’s Response: People are people no matter how far back one travels in history and no matter whereabouts one travels geographically .. gossip is the thread that brings people together as well as drives them apart and I really had fun sketching in these ladies throughout the little drama. Thankyou very much for the review.
