Today I made it to Chapter 31of this astonishing work of writing. It has been a challenge to continue on reading because you have described a situation so completely and at times so very discomforting. 

Bloody brilliant! I know and trust that there are many who live the life or similar of Liam and I despair for their opportunity to affect change for themselves. You have provided the inner thoughts of a person so caught in circumstance of cause and effect and yet a glimmerance of a possible change of that circumstance. I have been very moved to the point of wanting to put the story down and not continue reading and at the same time glad that I have done so.

Thank you for such wonderful feedback, you make me blush.

There is more to this story. I have a third act to it planned out and I am currently writing it.
