Considering the time frame in which this takes place, Ella is very forward thinking: she's quite rational and does seem to have positive feelings towards Joe.

I foresee CJ living in the ambassador's house with Camilo as a close friend! Fascinating story as always! Thanks for the tour!

@drsawzall: I do agree with all you say, but must say, your descriptions do make me chuckle. I would like to think better of some people and hope that Craig is not a predator/bully, but you may be on spot! The rest of it...I do agree.

Perhaps Craig is harboring some closeted gay feelings too...

I have no doubt they will grow out of the naivete as they age and go through challenges of life. Hope they can do that together and respect each other's differences.

When I was studying for my B.A. in Massachusetts in the late 60's, in order to be a teacher, one had to have a dual major - one in the field one was going to teach and another in education. I took maximum courses every semester plus summer school. At the certification of my credits at graduation time (by paper, not computer, lol), I found out I actually had a third area of concentration - thus, in effect, a triple major! It helped when I went on for my master degrees and worked towards a doctorate. So, it is possible with dedication, organization, and being involved in the school! There is still naivete in both Devin and Mac - even more so in Mac in my opinion - but there is also commitment to each other.

What a wonderful way to start a Sunday morning! I'm intrigued by Camilo: is he trying to truly glean information from CJ or is he trying to find a way to defect? And will Jay live to return to the U.S? Happy Birthday, Carlos.

Hmmm...that last line causes me pause! Now let's see what transpires.
-
I wonder how long Jay will have his job? He needs to be put into a strictly research position in a closet as far away from people as possible if he is allowed to continue employment! He certainly is not the person who should be representing the U.S. in any manner. Thanks for another story, Carlos! Excellent.

We've certainly advanced in the area of divorce since the time portrayed here....but, it still is not easy for a lot of women.

Psychic waves are flowing: All week, I was thinking about this story and hoping to read another chapter. And voila! Here it is!! Don't want to repeat the above observations, but just so thankful you are feeling better and publishing again! Would that I could ever experience anything near to what is described in this story - from the trips, the hotels, the yacht service, but especially meeting the wonderful, if fictional, people! You make it all so real! Thanks.

Wonderful verses and advice. My saddest experience in working with teens for so many years as a counselor was with those who dared not dream because life had already knocked them down very hard in their short lives Lack of encouragement from their living circumstances, social pressures due to either overt or "unconscious" racism, and other pressures led to lack of involvement in education which, in turn, further hindered them. Would that we had the ability to inspire dreams.
-
Wonderful writing, Bill. And the story both fills out and moves forward a bit more.

The hubris of some is the ruination of any relationship. Such it is with Joe. He thinks his money has made him better than others. That he could see Ella as a "servant" because she would drive herself is definitely a red flag for the relationship.

My mother actually said she was Italian by injection!

Oh that there would be couples counseling before and after a marriage where children from a former marriage are in the mix! Ella's not going to change anything or anyone unless others see a need. Perhaps her leaving will show them what they are missing...or confirm that she really wasn't "needed" after all.

Murder 101 - Prompt 124
pvtguy commented on Cole Matthews's story chapter in Murder 101 - Prompt 124
Very well crafted! I agree with @raven1: this would be a perfect beginning to a murder-mystery. -
I love the slow layout of the story...just wish the chapters were longer.
-
Are you possibly opening a position on the Supreme Court to show possibilities other than what faces us currently? Great conversations over dinner and after. CJ's and Owen's futures are going in wonderful directions. I really want to meet real-life people of the ilk of CJ and Owen!

If you're looking for a well-written, excellently crafted story of love, conflict, and the workings of a small town, this is for you. Assumptions are challenged; intrigue is so well woven that you can't wait to read the next chapter!
-
This was a wonderful story, well-written, and so engaging! I do hope you return to Edgewood - lots of stories to develop!

We truly don't know for a fact that Jonathan is a thief or engaged in other than "philanthropic" activities. He could well be a two-faced individual - wonderful to those "less fortunate" than he - so that he appears to be a "messiah" the them. He, thus, becomes the center of attention which he is not in his own children's eyes. There are many hypocritical people like this.
-
Ditto to all the positive comments made. You have created wonderful story that makes it necessary, in my mind, to follow up with another volume or few - hint, hint!! I hate to see the story end here...so much more to address. Great job, @Libby Drew. You are a very talented writer!
