All the work Ian and Kevin had to do to set things up for an adoption was exhausting...and I only had to read about it. Major is definitely focused on success and wants the boys to be safe. His friends helping for free says a lot about their high regard for Major. Great chapter.

Chapter 3 The Major Returns
raven1 commented on Mancunian's story chapter in Chapter 3 The Major Returns
Wow! Things move fast when the Major arrives. It looks like his contacts are not just in the UK. The adoption will be difficult, but hopefully not impossible. It's a good thing the boys have a trusted employee in Sean. -
Chapter 2 Reminiscing Part 2
raven1 commented on Mancunian's story chapter in Chapter 2 Reminiscing Part 2
I love this twist to the story. Ian and Kevin feel indebted to Manny for all the things he did for them. However, their quick decision wasn't based on that, I'm sure. They are responsible good people that just want to help a child in distress. I know that they will make great dads and give the boy a wonderful home and family. -
Chapter 1 Reminiscing Part 1
raven1 commented on Mancunian's story chapter in Chapter 1 Reminiscing Part 1
Looking forward to Ian and Kevin's story with a different view of what happened in The Boot series. I thought how the met and what happened to them was great background to their story. -
Hi Gary! That is correct and we all know it. You do an excellent job of stirring the pot when trouble does arrive however.
-
I am feeling very good to find that you are continuing stories in this series! Thanks!

John is the primary featured character in The Boot series of stories. Lost Souls-JohnChristian is his history from youth to his introduction the The Boot, a refuge for the homeless. It is a compelling tale that stands alone, but one you will enjoy for all the sadness and success in John's early years. I know if you read this you will probably want to read all the other wonderful stories about The Boot.
-
Great finish to the story as we now know how Chris became part of The Boot family.
-
Hello sweet fairy! Hope your day is going well.
-
Hey Spike! How's thing your way?

Hi Albert! I have to say I admire your skills in the kitchen. I'm trying to do more myself. I was happy to hear about the doctor's exam with excellent results. How is Steve doing? I almost forgot, I'm reading The Boot series of stories you read two months ago. I really am enjoying them.
-
I was wondering how and when Chris met Dr. Gary Evans. Carl was just another leach. It's nice to know that Gary acted honorably and will end up with Edwardo.
-
I have met a few Simons in my life. They disgust me. Christian is well rid of that leach. I am sad that Chris has now lost one more parent in his life.

I like both styles with and without the coconut milk. Coconut milk makes it a rich creamy soup, but without it is a lighter soup with more pronounced flavors.
-
I am glad that Christian was there to encourage and support John. I had not doubt Emily and Phillip would love him less. John's choices for his new name were perfect and reflect his respect and love for those who care for him.
-
I can understand why Phillip and Emily were keeping quiet about their plans. I was glad that John had only a short time to stress about what would happen before he found out the truth. Their new location and family will probably face challenges, but it sounds as if Phillip and Emily's plans have a great chance for success.
-
Christian make a good big brother and knows where John is headed. John has a lot of people who love him, he just needs to understand and gain trust. John and Ethel love him, but Phillip's comment about chasing John makes it appear that John and Ethel are to old to raise him. I suspect that Phillip and Emily might be there to see if they can adopt John.
-
Good start to the story, but a bit confusing with the names. It seems as though John has a tiny bit of a crush on Christian.

A beautifully written sad story, Lost Souls-The OX, tells the backstory of one of the most delightful characters in The Boot series. Major Ox is a most eccentric and lovable character, and this story gives much history of how he ended up at The Boot, a homeless shelter. It is a stand alone story, but will be much more enjoyable if you read his HEA in The Boot series. By itself it is a very moving story that I highly recommend.
-
Thanks for letting us know the backstory for Ox. I am happy that things improved for him.
-
Another sad addition to all the things that have happened to Ox. Having a nephew who served in Iraq and suffers to this day from PTSD, I fully agree that the government's response to the needs of vets is woefully inadequate. It is criminal negligence in my book.
-
I suspected from what we learned about Ox in the second book, that he has been at least gay friendly for a very long time. Bunny's death was very sad, and Andy letting Ox know he forgave him was very special.

Paying a good deed forward can work well for the giver as well as the receiver. Where good karma is earned, it can also be returned with dividends. Check it out!

The Boot Three Years On is a wonderful tale of love and life of people facing the challenges of being homeless. It is the second book of The Boot series, so I recommend the reader start with The Boot which is book one. The characters in the book are engaging and will capture your heart. The struggles they face and overcome will bring you joy. I highly recommend this delightful tale!
