This story is very unique and quite unlike anything I have ever read before on here. I was shocked to find Elaine was related to her attacker but I suppose the signs were all there - I only noticed them afterwards. For instance, Elaine's mother did not want her to have anything to do with him.

I can also see his motives as he is so 'disgusted' with his half-sisters that he 'marks' them! Although, I may not share your religion - I appreciate the fact you incorporated it into the story as it does give the story something extra. It makes me admire the strength of Evan much more.

So anyway, enough of my blabbering :) I just want to say I love this story and although I was greatly saddened that the society were so close-minded and Mara had to be sent away, I realised she would be happy. I was very glad that Elaine's past did not prevent her from being happy.

By the way, the last part is very amusing :D

I think the sheriff's name changed... McGuire and then McGuffry. Worth double checking when you go back and polish your story. :)

I am SO encouraged by the way you've incorporated your faith into this story! The concept of forgiveness is one that never gets old and I think it's great that you're including it! :)

So this is the end? Well a beautiful end to a beautiful story. I liked evans cheekiness in this chapter as well as Mrs. Brown and how she reacts. The scene with the mirror is great. I hope Mara will be alright. Thank you for writing this Story.

A beautiful chapter! I like how she overcame her fear and this strain on their marriage is now out of the picture. And how she conquered her fear and it hopefully wont come back. Beautifully written on how she overcomes it...there are no details needed.

A sad but good chapter. I like it despite its sadness. I hope Mara will have a good life...hmm will she ever been told?

I really liked the prayer of the Clergyman...well written and sincere how a prayer should be. Its how i think ones relationship with god should be sincere and honest, not dictated by societys wishes. I really liked this chapter its good how it focuses on both elaine and evan and their thoughts and not on the wedding.

What? That this guy is Elaines half brother is quite a shock. And this Bast... abusing both his sisters? Poor Elaine for having to send away her own daughter...this wont be easy for her. God what kind of "person" is that William. He Shouldve just shut his trap and died!

Well this story is a good read i like it so far. I especially liked the scene in wich mrs Brown hits this Bast... William MCGire over the head with her pan. Its just great...it added some kind of humorous to the scene...sides he deserved that...keep up the good work on this story

I loved it!

:)

Awesome ending. I love this story! Great work. I'd love for you to continue on with this on another story but I don't mind if you don't also. :)

aw cute little babies! I love it! And I hope they all become friends when they get older!

interesting! So I'm assuming that not only with evan fall for his son but also this Elaine woman! Can't wait to see the next play of events
