Love it. Love it. Love it! You've got quite the ability to spin a story and capture my complete attention. How long has it been since the last installment first went up? A while. And I didn't need to re-read it at all to remember right where we had left off. It was that vividly etched in my mind. Amazing stuff B.A.

I was pointed here by antique mommy and have just read this all at once. I was raised Southern Baptist in a small Texas town so the funeral scenes were reminiscent of my childhood and the recent loss of my husband's 96 year old saintly grandmother made this story ring even more true for me. I was captivated by your storytelling and I felt as if I was IN that church with you. Thank you for

Oh, BA... Just finished reading all five parts in one (and a half) sittings...You have such talent. I could see it and feel it all.

I love how you/the heroine are furious and forgiving all at once - I think that's more like most of us really are. Or would like to be.

Funerals are horrible and wonderful and deeply felt and surreal all at once. My favorite part of your story (and

I am so impressed with how you write dialogue. You really capture the accent, the humor and the different personalities through it. I feel like I know these people.

I just caught up on the last two installments. I wish I could come up with something better to say than just WOW, but...just WOW. I hung off your every word, during each installment. This series is fabulous and it begs the question, WHY aren't you a published author, BA?

"His palm skims mine, clutches briefly, desperately, and then slips away. He is gone before the warmth from his body has cooled in my grasp. I feel a bitter sting behind my own lids. His tears wound me."

Thank you for transporting us with you; your haunting writing compelled me to read on, to absorb the experience as you unfolded it and I am so moved and very grateful.

I'm fascinated by your husband in this series, your husband, who must straddle the world of his childhood and the world he now inhabits with you and your children.

He does so with dignity and grace. He must be a good man.

"They are both crying soundlessly, salty drops plopping onto the sharp creases I have ironed into their pants."

I saw them falling.

I'm waiting to find out what happens with Jerry. I am nervous and hopeful all at once.
