Go Jonas! It's your birthday! Go Jonas! It's your birthday! LOL! I think Jonas is a back door man . . . the men don't know, but the little girls understand.

Seriously, this is a great chapter, and you made Lou a very strong and decent person, so I understand how things might get out of hand. Plus the three children are really cute. Hope Ruby gets more to do, I like her a lot!

I really like the mention of FDR - nice idea! ;-)

Polio struck down many people in those days. Don't forget to mention Franklin D. Roosevelt!

I love how you're not afraid to show suffering and sorrow in your work!

Rad sounds like a real jerk! But I like he way this story is coming along. Hope you continue!

Wow, this story is off to a great start! It takes a lot of skill to write a story set in the recent past, where some things are modern and some are not. I really like Lou and how she's willing to give her marriage with Rad a chance, even though she knows he's not perfect. Please update soon!

Chapter 2?

"she knew that if they were ever separated..."
She knew? Or she feared or felt or some other word?
