I absolutely loved this story. It's so easy to see the situation from an outsider's standpoint as right or wrong with really no gray area. But for Libby, she's always been viewing things in the gray area. This story was quite a hurdle to get through since it brought up so many emotions throughout. Thanks for sharing this.

Just reread this in less than a day after at least 5 years. Your work is magnificent, and I can only imagine what the outcome of the story would have been if Libby didn't have that support outside of her family. This is a story that weaves together so many topics and does not fail to bring it all together. I will always remember the descriptions of the music

This is a PHENOMENAL STORY! It had me hooked right from the start, and I loved it so.

Stan is the god damn man. He just said all the best things, all people could use a friend as good as Stan.

I read a part of this chapter and knew that Max is going to hurt her. It may have been something she would have done anyway, but she is still being used. I just hope she comes clean before it gets too bad. It is still tonight to hurt to watch it happen though, if it happens the way I think it will.

Despite myself, I like these people. I haven't seen them around anyone that wasn't white, however, and I fear that when I do, my feelings for them will rightly change. I just hope they aren't too horrible, too far gone in that regard.

I wonder what she is going to do now that she has some tiny amount of freedom.

That woman is a walking testament to "sloppy parenting." This makes me sad because it's steeped in reality, a dark and hateful reality that I wish would disappear from the world.

One of the more interesting stories out there. I'm glad it's not the end so I'll move on to 'Atonement for Past Deeds'.

Hello. I'm glad that I have read this story and it actually has a plot and a good one. And there are some great dialog or thought moments too. Spoiler!: "I'm glad that things turned out this way with Max, without clear ending, though I don't understand how (omg, I forgot name of main character) her mother hadn't changed a phone number..."
Thanks for writing!

Wow, just wow. :)

I don't know if I can find the words that express how I feel about this story. Just know it's all good and I think you're amazing for having written such a deep and wonderful story.

Excellent story. Thank you for writing it and for sharing it.
Great opening, whole, complex characters, thrilling plot, naturalistic insight into the world of white supremacists and opera. You have caused many late nights as I raced through the chapters. And you have made me think long after I have finished reading. Looking forward to reading more of your work!

I have been reading this story for 25 chapters. 25 chapters without a review is quite a feat for me, but tthis deserves a review. This chapter... As I read it, my back straightened and my teeth clenched in anger right along with Liberty's. This chapter brought your characters to life, and allowed me as a reader to connect even more so than I had before. And for that, I say, good job!

This story is amazing. You write so beautifully that I can't even describe it! i love how this isn't just about Max and Libby; that you've made it way bigger than them. The plot was so layered and complex, I loved it. I did have a sneaking suspicion that Max was doing something like taking naked pictures of Libby to sell to the press, but I never would've guessed just how much more than that it was! I have to say, the level of detail in here is amazing. How in the world do you know so much about... everything? Like, the law side of it, the opera, the music industry, the white-supremacist... WOW. Also, the added detail was all so original. It's a small detail, but I really like how Libby dealt with the press.

All up, I found your story to be so real, original, detailed and beautiful and I truly hope that more people see that and you can the huge amount of reviews this story deserves!
