It's heartbreaking watching her go through such trauma..

Well, this is a truly amazing story Kathy - I very much appreciate your work. Clarity is an amazingly resilient young woman and refuses to remain a victim despite having been so horribly victimized. So many people these days wilt under the least discomfort or mild criticism - and then spend years wallowing in it. I like her approach to the vicissitudes of life much better!

Love this the Boogeyman is such a good twist, a tangible enemy.

Love your sense of humor-Cujo!

Thanks!

Thank you very much, had to read in between chores but enjoyed it :)

Love this story! Thank you.

Oooh, salt was a good idea! Everyone I know seems to underestimate the amount of salt it takes to preserve things and cook from scratch!

Thank you Momma Hen!

Finally got to sit down and eat, hubby is doing better and they didn't have to do major surgery, just get in and drain off the infection in his lower abdomen. Thank you so much for the chapters you are putting up.

Thanks!
